Gleb Yushin is an Assistant Professor of the School of Materials and Engineering at The Georgia Institute of Technology effective July 2007. He has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the Roland B. Snow Award from the American Ceramic Society, NASA Nano 50 Award, various best poster awards from the Electrochemical Society, Materials Research Society, and North American Membrane Society meetings, and multiple awards at ceramographic competitions. His recent work was featured on the cover of Nano Letters and was covered by Nature, Science, Advanced Functional Materials, Innovation Philadelphia Newsletter, Philadelphia Business Journal, and Frost & Sullivan, among others. He received a M.S. in Physics from Saint-Petersburg Technical University (Russia) and a Ph.D. in Materials Science from North Carolina State University. Upon graduation in fall 2003 he joined Drexel University as a postdoctoral associate and soon was promoted to a research assistant professor position. At Drexel Gleb has been leading the research efforts in nanoporous carbide derived carbon - based materials and devices for energy, environment and bio-related applications.
