The UD Engineering Alumni Association recently honored three alumni for their outstanding work: Steven H. McKnight ’95, earned his Ph.D. in materials science; E. Alan Uebler ’64 ’66, earned master’s and doctoral degrees in chemical engineering; and Sean X. Wang ’92 who earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering.
Sean X. Wang, Steven H. McKnight, Thomas Buchanan, deputy dean of the College of Engineering, and E. Alan Uebler.
McKnight is chief of the Army Research Laboratory’s Materials Division, where he is responsible for planning and executing the Army’s basic and applied research in advanced materials technologies and then transitioning materials research products to Army stakeholders.
After earning his law degree, Uebler served as in-house patent counsel for both DuPont and W. L. Gore & Associates before entering private practice in Wilmington. He has prosecuted hundreds of patents to issue worldwide and litigated nationwide in all areas of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights.
Wang is an accomplished entrepreneur who has founded, incubated, and financed more than a dozen high-tech companies over the past 10 years. Currently, he is the chief executive officer of B&W TEK, a local photonic instrument company. He is also founder and chairman of Litecure, a rapidly growing medical device company, and BWT Lighting, a start-up solid-state navigational lighting company.
We’ve yet to hear back from our large and talented research staff on exactly what these accomplished men have done, the UD Alumni Relations Blog is sure that it’s certainly award-worthy stuff. Well done, gents.
