an affiliate professor in the Department of Chemistry at Washington State University
(WSU). In 2004, Dr. Bose received the prestigious Presidential Early Career Award for
Scientist and Engineers (PECASE, the highest honor given to a young scientist by the US
President at the White House) award from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Bose was
named as a “Kavli fellow” by the National Academy of Sciences. In 2009, she received the
prestigious Schwartzwalder-Professional Achievement in Ceramic Engineering (PACE)
Award, and in 2014 Richard M. Fulrath Award, which is an international award given to one
academician in the US annually (below age 45), from the American Ceramic Society. Dr. Bose is
editorial board member for several international journals, including Acta Biomaterialia
, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Journal of Materials Chemistry B, International Journal of
Nanomedicine and Additive Manufacturing. Dr. Bose has published over 200 technical papers
