The
Xerox Foundation established the Xerox Awards
for Faculty Research to honor faculty members
annually for outstanding research in two
categories: to assistant professors based
on one year of research accomplishments;
and to associate professors based on five
years of research accomplishments. This award
recognizes Professor
Zhao for his novel genetic
engineering approaches to produce industrially
important biomolecules, and his outstanding
publications within the last year.
The award will be presented at the 41st Annual Engineering Awards Convocation.
