Navrotsky has made a $10 million donation to Arizona State University to help further the growth of material science at the university.
“In addition to the leadership and internationally recognized scholarship that Alex brings to ASU, she has made a personal $10 million investment which will ensure the long-term growth of materials science in this area at ASU,” said Neal Woodbury, vice president for research and chief science and technology officer for ASU’s Knowledge Enterprise. “This gift will support the Center for Materials of the Universe, named professors of materials research, early-career faculty encouragement awards and research in thermochemistry. The Materials of the Universe Center is an opportunity for ASU to significantly advance materials science research through a collaboration between the sciences and engineering.”
