Dr. Bernhardt L. Trout joins the ISN
The Institute for the Study of Nature is pleased to announce that Dr.
Bernhardt L. Trout of MIT has joined its board of directors
as well as its staff as Vice-President and Senior Fellow.
Dr. Trout is a Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at
MIT, where he was an undergraduate before earning his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in
1996. He has had a longstanding interest in classical views and philosophical
questions about nature and began to develop a skeptical attitude toward
scientism and reductionism during his undergraduate days. Among his many
impressive accomplishments, Bernhardt is Director, Novartis-MIT Center for
Continuous Manufacturing and Co-Chair, Singapore-MIT Alliance, Chemical and
Pharmaceutical Engineering, as well as the head of the MIT Molecular Engineering
group. He was also the winner of the Ford Motor Company Young Investigator Award
(2001), and the holder of the Henry L. and Grace Doherty Professorship for
2001-2003.
The staff and Fellows of the ISN look forward to much fruitful
collaboration with Dr. Trout.
