Former MSE department head, Justin Schwartz, has been named the chancellor of the University of Colorado at Boulder (@cuboulder). Justin will assume his new role on July 1, leaving his current position as executive vice president and provost at Pennsylvania State University (@pennstate).

“I received overwhelmingly positive feedback about Justin following his campus visit and open forums with CU Boulder faculty, staff and students,” said Todd Saliman, president of the University of Colorado system, in a statement. “He was equally well-received by community members who are critical partners of CU Boulder. After reflecting on this input and considering the exceptional attributes Justin brings, I am even more convinced he is the right person for the job.”

Schwartz served at NC State as Kobe Steel Professor and head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering from 2009 to 2017. He left NC State to become the Harold and Inge Marcus Dean of Engineering at Penn State.

Congrats, Justin!

🔮🧲 We are discovering the future of robotics with artificial magnetic cilia! These hair-like structures respond to magnetic fields, allowing the programming of actuation behaviors.
.
.
A paper in Advanced Materials Technologies shows work done by Matt Clary, the first author and MSE Ph.D. student, and MSE Professor Joe Tracy as the corresponding author, use NdFeB microparticles in a thermoplastic elastomer to create these hard-magnetic cilia.

Learn how they can be reprogrammed magnetically to exhibit unique behaviors in response to magnetic fields. #Robotics #Innovation #MagneticCilia

Congrats, Matt and Joe!
