Professor Escobedo received a B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of San Agustin in Peru in 1987 and worked for five years as an R&D engineer in a Peruvian company before coming to the U.S. for graduate studies. He earned his M.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1993 and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1997. He joined the faculty at Cornell University in late 1998 and has received numerous awards, including the Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation new faculty award in 1999, a Career Award from the National Science Foundation in 2000, and an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation fellowship in 2004. His research focuses on the development of novel methodologies for simulating thermodynamic data and molecular-level models of complex materials. He aims to establish structure-property relationships in materials derived from nanoscale building blocks, guiding the design of materials with desirable properties through emergent phenomena like entropy. Professor Escobedo has also received recognition for his teaching excellence in the College of Engineering in 2003 and was named an Honors Fellow by the American Physical Society in 2014.
