Early life and education
editSamson earned his Bachelor of Science in Engineering from Michigan Technological University and his doctoral degrees from the University of Minnesota.[1]
Career
editJenekhe joined the faculty of chemistry at the University of Washington in 2000 as a professor of chemical engineering and chemistry.[2] In 2003, he was one of three University of Washington Professors elected to the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[3]
In 2013, he was elected to the Washington State Academy of Sciences.[4] The next year, he was listed by the Clean Energy Institute as one of the 2014 Highly Cited Researchers.[5]
He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2003. [6] Jenekhe has been selected as the 2021 recipient of the APS Polymer Physics Prize "for pioneering and sustained outstanding contributions to the synthesis, photophysics, and structure-morphology-performance relationships in semiconducting polymers for electronic and photovoltaic applications."[7]
