Dr. Pendse received the University of Maine Pulp and Paper Foundation’s Genco Award, 2012. This annual award recognizes a UMaine employee who supports the pulp and paper industry through research, innovative student recruitment, or teaching that inspires current engineering students. The award bears the name of its first recipient—long-time UMaine chemical engineering professor Joseph Genco, an exemplary scholar who personifies all three of the award criteria.
