Professor Peggy Cebe

Peggy Cebe (born in 1949) is a Professor of Physics at the Department of Physics and Astronomy, at Tufts University in Medford, MA.[1]

Early life

Cebe was born in Erie, Pennsylvania. [2] She got her bachelors 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. She obtained a second MS in physics from Cornell University in 1981, followed by a Ph.D in physics in 1984, also from Cornell University.[3]

Career

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 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.[1] 

She researches the structure and properties of semi-crystalline polymers, nanocomposites, and biopolymers. She performs high precision, high accuracy heat capacity measurements on these systems, combined with dielectric relaxation and X-ray scattering. She is the author/co-author of 170+ peer reviewed publications and has raised over $4,970,000 in research support grants.[1] [4] 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.
