[Dr.] He’s proposal aims to design and develop an unconventional additive micro-manufacturing system that can 3D-print a broad range of materials from polymers to metals on a single platform, at record-setting high resolution. – Rosa Oppenheim, J&J Advisory Board Member
Ximin He, a professor of Materials Science Engineering, has been selected for the 2023 Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award winner for the Manufacturing Category for her proposal which aims to design and develop an unconventional additive micro-manufacturing system that can 3D-print a broad range of materials from polymers to metals on a single platform, at record-setting high resolution.
The 2023 Johnson & Johnson WiSTEM2D Scholars Award aims to award and sponsor women in critical points of their careers within STEM2D disciplines: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, Manufacturing, and Design.
Dr. He is leading a team of researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles to help create new, energy-efficient, environmentally-responsive materials and dynamic systems or devices that respond, adapt and move essentially instantaneously and exhibit adaptive and self-regulating behavior, for a variety of fundamental science studies and applications from biological/chemical sensing and separation to energy harvesting and conversion.
She has also received other notable awards such as:
- the CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar 2019-2021,
- International Society of Bionic Engineering (ISBE) Outstanding Youth Award (2019)
- Hellman Fellows Award (2018)
