Professor Adam Feinberg, who holds a joint appointment in both Materials Science and Biomedical Engineering, has been chosen as the inaugural recipient of the Arthur Hamerschlag Career Development Professorship in Materials Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering.

The Arthur Hamerschlag Career Development Professorships were established by the College of Engineering and proudly named in honor of Arthur Hamerschlag, the first president of Carnegie Mellon. President Hamerschlag served between 1903 and 1922 when the university was then known as the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
