Susmita Bose, a professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, was invited to the White House to receive the 2004 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE), the highest honor given by the government to researchers who are beginning their careers. She was one of twenty National Science Foundation-supported university researchers to receive the award.
The award commends her “innovative and multidisciplinary research on bioactive bone implants,” her teaching, which fosters student interaction with various industries, and her work with minority students. WSU now has two PECASE award winners; David Bahr, also a professor in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, won the award in 2000.
