The Composite Division of the Society of Plastic Engineers proudly recognizes Dr. Luyi Sun from the University of Connecticut as the 2018 Educator of the Year Award. What drew the judges’ attention to this candidate was the large number of students (50 undergraduate researchers / 7 Masters Students / and 12 PhD candidates) that have worked under Dr. Sun’s supervision, and the work that he has done in biopolymer, nanosheet, Li ion battery, spray coating, barrier, structural, fluoropolymer coating, and photocatalytic composites areas.
