James Clark School of Engineering. The award, instituted in 2020, recognizes exceptionally influential accomplishments in one, or both, the areas of research and teaching.
Tomblin was recognized for both his teaching, where he has “motivated students to make science and technology more just, sustainable, equitable, and accessible,” according to the Clark School announcement, and the importance of his research, which has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, Sloan Foundation and others
