Lewis has made pioneering contributions to the programmable assembly of soft functional, structural, and biological materials. In addition to demonstrating a new route for creating shape-morphing architectures, known as biomimetic 4D printing, she developed a multi-material 3D bioprinting method that enables the creation of thick vascularized tissues and 3D organs-on-chip. Her bioprinting research was named “one of the top 100 science stories” by Discover Magazine. Lewis is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the National Academy of Inventors, and a fellow of the American Physical Society. Honors include the Presidential Faculty Fellow Award, National Science Foundation; the Brunauer Award, American Ceramic Society; the Langmuir Lecture Award, American Chemical Society; and the Materials Research Society Medal. Lewis will present lectures in the College of Engineering.
