Cebe spent four years at the Caltech/NASA [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]], first as a postdoctoral research associate, and then as a member of the technical staff where she was promoted to Technical Group Leader of the Polymer Physics Group. She joined the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]]’s [https://dmse.mit.edu/ Department of Materials Science and Engineering] in 1988, working in the area of semi-crystalline polymer structure and properties. In 1995, Prof. Cebe began her position as a faculty member at Tufts University, in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.<ref name=":0" /> 
After her PhD, Cebe moved to the Caltech/NASA [[Jet Propulsion Laboratory]] as a postdoctoral research associate. She then became a member of their technical staff and was promoted to technical group leader of the polymer physics group. In 1988, Cebe joined the department of materials science and engineering at [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]], studying the structure and properties of [[semi-crystalline polymer]]s. In 1995, Cebe began her faculty position at [[Tufts University]], in the department of physics and astronomy.<ref name=":0" /> 


She researches the structure and properties of [[Crystallization of polymers|semi-crystalline polymers]], [[Nanocomposite|nanocomposites]], and [[Biopolymer|biopolymers]]. She performs high precision, high accuracy [[heat capacity]] measurements on these systems, combined with [[Dielectric|dielectric relaxation]] and [[X-ray scattering techniques|X-ray scattering]]. She is the author/co-author of [https://sites.tufts.edu/pcebe/publications/ 170+ peer reviewed publications] and has raised over $4,970,000 in research support grants.<ref name=":0" /> <ref>{{Cite book|last=Szilágyi|first=Imre Miklós|url=https://books.google.co.il/books?id=1G93BQAAQBAJ&pg=PA42&lpg=PA42&dq=peggy+cebe&source=bl&ots=PUxaXKhANn&sig=ACfU3U1evRxXjLV9ln7gWcx7zP4qxLX3WA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhkfXu9cfoAhVI4qQKHUKjDcc4ChDoATAFegQICxAn#v=onepage&q=peggy%20cebe&f=false|title=Who is Who in Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry|last2=Liptay|first2=György|date=2014-11-18|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-3-319-09486-1|language=en}}</ref> In 2004 she launched a program to include students with disabilities in STEM education projects; she mentored four students in her laboratory as part of the pilot.
Cebe's research focuses on characterizing the structure and properties of [[Crystallization of polymers|semi-crystalline polymers]], [[nanocomposite]]s, and [[biopolymer]]s using methods including high-precision, high-accuracy [[heat capacity]] measurements, [[Dielectric|dielectric relaxation]], and [[X-ray scattering techniques|X-ray scattering]].

Peggy Cebe (born in 1949) is a professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Tufts University.[1]

Early life

[edit]

Cebe was born in Erie, Pennsylvania.[2] She received her bachelor's degree (BSEd) from the Edinboro State College of Pennsylvania (currently known as Edinboro University of Pennsylvania) in 1970. She earned a MS in mathematics in 1976 from the same school. Cebe obtained a second MS in physics from Cornell University in 1981, followed by a PhD in physics in 1984, also from Cornell University.[3]

Career

[edit]

After her PhD, Cebe moved to the Caltech/NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a postdoctoral research associate. She then became a member of their technical staff and was promoted to technical group leader of the polymer physics group. In 1988, Cebe joined the department of materials science and engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, studying the structure and properties of semi-crystalline polymers. In 1995, Cebe began her faculty position at Tufts University, in the department of physics and astronomy.[1] 

Cebe's research focuses on characterizing the structure and properties of semi-crystalline polymers, nanocomposites, and biopolymers using methods including high-precision, high-accuracy heat capacity measurements, dielectric relaxation, and X-ray scattering. Cebe is also known for her work with deaf and hard-of-hearing students.[4]
