This highly competitive award recognizes outstanding new faculty who are nominated by 3M employees and selected based on the faculty member’s research, experience and academic leadership. In addition to the recognition, the NTFA provides financial support in the amount of $15,000 this year and opportunity for renewal if eligible. The award will help Cobb further her research in additive manufacturing and computational design methods for next generation engineered materials.
