Kathleen J. Stebe is the Richer and Elizabeth Goodwin Professor in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Educated at the City College of New York, she received a B.A. in Economics and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the Levich Institute advised by Charles Maldarelli. After a post-doctoral year in Compiegne, France under the guidance of Dominique Barthes-Biesel, she joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, rising to the rank of Professor and chair. Thereafter, she joined the University of Pennsylvania. She has been recognized as a Member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, of the American Physical Society, the Radcliffe Institute and is a member of the Johns Hopkins Society of Scholars. Her research focuses on directed assembly in soft matter and at fluid interfaces, with an emphasis on confinement, geometry, and emergent structures for novel functional materials.

The John L. Anderson Distinguished Lecture Series in Chemical Engineering is held annually and brings celebrated and influential chemical engineering researchers to campus. This lecture series is named to honor the accomplishments of former Carnegie Mellon University Professor of Chemical Engineering and Dean of the College of Engineering, John L. Anderson. Dr. Anderson, president of the National Academy of Engineering, has made an impressive impact on the field of engineering, both through his research and his many roles in academic leadership around the country.
