Glandt Presidential Professor and the Departmental Chair of the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE) at University of Pennsylvania. He is also a former Taekwondo Olympian and represented Trinidad and Tobago. His laboratory works on polymers and soft materials for functional application including liquid filtration.[2] He is the associate editor of the journal Macromolecules.[3]Table of ContentsEarly life and education[edit]Taekwondo career[edit]Scientific career and research[edit]Honors and awards[edit]References[edit]Early life and education[edit]Chinedum Osuji was born in Trinidad and Tobago and lived there until he began his education in the United States.[4]  He studied Materials Science and Engineering, receiving his Bachelor’s degree from Cornell University in 1999.[5] During his studies Cornell he completed a senior thesis on random copolymers for polymer interface reinforcement with Edward J. Kramer.[5] In 2003, Osuji received his PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).[6] At MIT he worked under the supervision of  Edwin L. Thomas.[7]  His research thesis was on the structure and properties of liquid crystalline block copolymers.[7]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4After receiving his PhD, he worked at Surface Logix Inc., a start-up company, working on using soft lithography to fabricate cell-based assays, planar waveguides and other devices.[5][6] From 2005 to 2007, Osuji was a postdoctoral researcher at  Harvard University  working with David A. Weitz on colloidal gels.[5]Taekwondo career[edit]In 2000, while at MIT, Chinedum Osuji co-founded the MIT sport taekwondo team.[8]He represented Trinidad and Tobago at the World Taekwondo Championships in the 2001, 2003, and 2005 games.[9]In 2003, he received a silver medal at the Pan American Games qualifier.[9]In 2004, Chinedum qualified to compete in taekwondo men’s 80 kg at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, but was defeated by Rashad Ahmadov of Azerbaijan in the preliminary round.[1]He competed in the 2007 Pan American Games, receiving a bronze medal[9] and then announced his retirement from future international competitions.[4]Scientific career and research[edit]In 2007, after completing his post-doc at Harvard University, he joined the faculty of Yale University in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering.[4]  In 2017 he joined the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania as the Eduardo D. Glandt Presidential Professor.[10] In 2021, he became the chair of the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.[11]Osuji research focuses on the study of the structure, dynamics, and self-assembly of soft matter for use in applications such as organic solar cells, nanofiltration and microfluidic bio-assays.[12] In particular, he has studied methods to induce long-range order in soft matter systems such as block copolymers and liquid crystals[13][14][15] and self-assembly of nanomaterials.[16]He is the author of over 100 publications.[17] Osuji is currently an associate editor of Macromolecules.[3]Honors and awards[edit]References[edit]^ a b “Chinedum Osuji Bio, Stats, and Results | Olympics at”.
