Veerle Keppens earned her bachelor’s degree (1989) and Ph.D. (1995) in physics from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). From 1995 to 1998, Dr. Keppens was a Fulbright Fellow in the novel materials group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she became interested in the elas- tic properties of new materials. In 1999, she joined the facul- ty in the Physics Department at the University of Mississippi. In 2003, she moved to Tennessee and joined the faculty in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Tennessee (UT), where she continues to study the elastic properties and lattice dynamics of novel materials. At UT, she has received multiple awards, including the chan- cellor’s award for professional promise in research and cre- ative achievement, the college of engineering research fellow award, and the department of materials science faculty award for outstanding service.
