Koch Professor in Engineering Executive Officer, Chemical Engineering Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering, MIT (1993) M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Georgia Tech (1988) S.B. in Chemical Engineering, MIT (1984)			Elizabeth Galoyan Administrative Assistant 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Room 76-553 Cambridge, MA 02139 USA Phone: 617-253-3016 Fax: 617-258-8992 lgaloyan[at]mit.edu

In 1994 Dr. Hammond was awarded the NSF Postdoctoral Fellowship in Chemistry while performing postdoctoral research in the Harvard University Chemistry Dept as a member of the Whitesides research group. In 2000, Professor Hammond was awarded the Junior Bose Faculty Award, and the GenCorp Signature University Award. She has also received the NSF Career Award, the EPA Early Career Award, the DuPont Young Faculty Award, and the 3M Innovation Fund Award. Dr. Hammond was one of a group of key faculty members involved in starting the Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies
