Assistant Professors Kōnane Bay and Ankur Gupta from ���������� Boulder’s Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering each received a $450,000, three-year grant to advance research relevant to the Air Force. 

Kōnane Bay received a CAREER award to support research at the Huli Materials Lab, where she and her team will investigate how the mechanical properties of polymer films change as their thickness is reduced to less than 100 nanometers—about a thousand times thinner than a human hair or cling wrap.
