Deborah Chung, professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, was featured in a Cal Tech news story concerning three of the university's first female graduates to receive bachelor of science degrees.
"I remember at that time there was no digital computer search of the literature, no Google. So, I spent a lot of time in the library looking at journals and xeroxing them page by page. It wasn't because of any course, it was just because I fell in love with the research. Even today, I'm still as excited, perhaps even more so, about research," Chung said.
Chung left Caltech with a bachelor's degree in engineering and applied science and a master's in engineering science. After earning a PhD in materials science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University and, later, joined UB, where she is the founding director of the Composite Materials Research Laboratory.
