Lilo Pozzo is the Boeing-Roundhill Professor for Excellence in Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington. She is also a professor and  the Interim Chair of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. She earned her BS degree in chemical engineering at the  University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez in 2001 and her PhD in Chemical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 2006. She obtained her  current position at UW after a postdoctoral stint at the National  Institute for Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research from  2006 to 2007. Her research concerns the development, measurement and control of self-assembly processes for soft materials over nanometer and micrometer scales. Current projects include high-throughput experimentation and data science for materials design, functional emulsions, and materials for energy storage and conversion. She is known for her excellence in teaching and mentoring, scientific and  technological outreach to Puerto Rico in recovery after hurricane Maria, and advocacy of LGBTQ scientists and engineers, especially trans and Latinx communities. We spoke in this episode about a wide range of topics.
