George Stafford whitby award for distinguished teaching and research.Gregory G. McKenna is the Paul Whitfield Horn Professor at Texas Tech University. He has made contributions to the field of polymer physics Polymer physics is the field of physics associated to the study of polymers, their fluctuations, mechanical properties, as well as the kinetics of reactions involving degradation and polymerisation of polymers and monomers respectively. and has expanded that work into soft materials. During his tenure at the National Bureau of Standards National Bureau of Standards: see National Institute of Standards and Technology. National Bureau of Standards - National Institute of Standards and Technology and then the National Institute of Standards and Technology National Institute of Standards and Technology, governmental agency within the U.S. Dept. of Commerce with the mission of "working with industry to develop and apply technology, measurements, and standards" in the national interest. , McKenna built an experimental program that furthered the fundamental understanding of the physics and mechanics of amorphous polymers, including rubber, gels and glasses. |
