Distinguished Engineering Professor Christopher Bowman, who is a serial inventor working with Venture Partners, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, one of the highest professional distinctions accorded to engineers. Bowman was chosen for his innovations related to photopolymerization, a process that uses light to trigger reactions that form new polymers. These polymers are used for an array of medical and technological applications, such as 3D printing, dental fillings, medical devices and augmented reality displays.
