Hyongsok (Tom) Soh, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, has won an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program Award.
Soh's proposal was "Disposable, Ultrahigh Performance Cell Sorter." He won his award in the Medical Science and Technology Division.
The awards are of up to $100,000 per year for three years with the possibility of additional support for capital equipment or collaborative research with a Navy laboratory. ONR granted 26 awards this year, covering all areas of science and technology.
Named in 2002 to MIT Technology Review's list of the World's Top 100 Young Innovators, Soh came to UCSB in 2003 from Bell Labs/Agere Systems where he managed a research and development group.
Soh earned his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1999. The co-author of a book, "Scanning Probe Lithography" (2001), he holds nearly a dozen patents.
