The lecture, titled “Orientation and Assembly of Anisotropic Particles by Capillary Interactions,” is sponsored by the University of Delaware Department of Chemical Engineering.

Stebe's research focuses on capillary phenomena, including how surfactants can be used to influence interfacial flows, and on particle assembly and tailored interfaces for biological and materials applications.

Stebe received a bachelor's degree in economics and a doctorate in chemical engineering from the City College of New York. She then spent a post-doctoral year in Compiegne, France.

For several years, Stebe was on the faculty at Johns Hopkins University, where she served as chemical engineering department chair and was a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Studies.

Stebe received the Robert S. Pond Excellence in Teaching Award at Johns Hopkins and the Frenkiel Award from the Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American Physical Society.
