John C. Berg has been a member of the faculty at the University of Washington Department of Chemical Engineering for over six decades, where he has worked to strengthen our undergraduate curriculum’s foundation, establishing his position as a national leader in surface and colloid science and in chemical engineering education.

The legacy of his surface and colloid science lab and lecture course first began when he saw a gap in the curriculum over four decades ago, and decided to do something about it.

His passion and commitment to championing every single one of his students has greatly influenced UW ChemE and the broader community of chemical engineers.

After 61 years of service, Berg is now retiring from his role as a full-time professor.
