Gregory C. Rutledge is the Lammot du Pont Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at MIT. He holds a BS degree from the University of Virginia and PhD from MIT, both in chemical engineering. Prior to obtaining his PhD, Prof. Rutledge worked for the Dow Chemical Company, in the area of gas separation membranes. He subsequently held postdoctoral appointments at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich and at the University of Leeds, England.
Since joining the faculty at MIT, he has served as Director for the Program in Polymer Science and Technology and as Executive Officer in the Department of Chemical Engineering, in addition to positions on numerous committees. Prof. Rutledge’s research is in the area of molecular engineering of soft matter, in particular the development of process-structure-property relationships of engineered polymers, through the use of molecular simulation and experiment. Since 1990, he has authored or co-authored over 200 papers in refereed journals, book chapters and archival conference proceedings, 150 invited lectures and 8 patent applications or issued. Prof. Rutledge is an associate editor or editorial board member for Macromolecules, Polymer, and the Journal of Engineering Fibers and Fabrics.
