Martin Bazant
After a PhD in Physics at Harvard University (1997), Professor Bazant first joined the MIT faculty in Mathematics (1998) and then in Chemical Engineering (2008), where he has served as Executive Officer (2016-2020) and now as the first Digital Learning Officer. His online teaching innovations in 10.50.1x have been recognized by the MITx Prize for Teaching and Learning in MOOCs and a finalist for the Edx Prize. His research combines mathematical theory with computation and experiments in electrochemical systems, electrokinetics, and transport phenomena. His honors and awards include the 2015 Alexander Kuznetsov Prize in Theoretical Electrochemistry (ISE), the 2018 Andreas Acrivos Award for Professional Progress in Chemical Engineering (AIChE), numerous distinguished lectureships and chairs, and Fellow status in the American Physical Society, the International Electrochemical Society, and the Royal Society of Chemistry. He also consults extensively for industry and serves as the Chief Scientific Advisor for Saint Gobain North America.
