The associate dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science has been named among the top 2 percent of research scientists in the world.
Michael Danquah, a UC Foundation professor and director of the department of chemical engineering at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, uses biomolecular engineering principles to develop, among others, emerging biopharmaceuticals, methods for delivering drugs to their specific targets without alerting the bodyâs defense mechanisms, biofuels and systems that help clean up environmental pollution.
The designation is the result of a
study, conducted by Stanford University, listing scientists in the top 100,000 of all fields and the top 2 percent in specific fields. Those various fields include engineering, business, humanities and medicine.
