Ruben Carbonell，Frank Hawkins Kenan北卡罗来纳州立大学化学工程教授，已荣获O. Max Gardner奖，最重要的大学全面荣誉由北卡罗来纳大学系统提供的，为工程中的贡献，医疗保健，教育和公共政策。

该奖项每年向系统17个校园提供一位教师，确认为“对人类福利作出最大贡献”。

Carbonell在NC州的杰出职业生涯包括对大学社区和公众的研究，企业源，行政领导和服务中的重大贡献。

Carbonell是一家在国家制造业生物制药（NIIMBL）的国家创新研究所（Niimbl）的提案中是一个联合主体调查员。Made possible by a $70 million commitment from the National Institute of Standards and Technology over five years, NIIMBL is dedicated to accelerating innovation in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and developing a world-leading workforce to help drive the future of a vitally important industry to the U.S. economy and to patients suffering from chronic and deadly diseases throughout the world. Serving as chief technology officer for NIIMBL, Carbonell drives the technology roadmap for NIIMBL and launches technical projects that address industry needs.

他的主要研究领域是使用来自组合文库的配体的生物分子的分子识别，以及它们的应用来分离，检测和病原体去除。Carbonell及其同事在着名的期刊输血和柳叶服曲出版了两个地标论文，首次报告了传染朊病毒蛋白，这些蛋白质负责全血的人类疯牛病的传播。此外，Carbonell及其组创建了一种由浸渍有含有含有配体的树脂颗粒的非织造织物组成的创新滤镜，该配体可用于处理人血液以在输血前除去朊病毒蛋白。该过滤器现已由法国里尔的Macopharma制造，并且应该成功完成临床安全试验，应由英国采用。Carbonell在领先的研究期刊上发表了超过240篇论文，并参与了三家初创公司的创建。

In 2016, Carbonell was elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors in recognition of the breadth, range and quality of his patent portfolio, which includes nearly 40 U.S. patents and many more foreign counterparts.他是美国化学工程师协会和美国化学学会的工程化学划分的成员。Because of the significant research made with collaborators from Slovenia and Italy, Carbonell was elected a foreign member of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and of the Academy of Sciences at the University of Bologna.他还收到了2007年亚历山大·奥克朗尔斯·霍洛拉德勋章，卓越奖，州立议会最高的教师奖。

As director of NC State’s Kenan Institute, Carbonell established the Kenan Fellows Program for Teacher Leadership, an innovative program to nurture teacher-leaders through a yearlong mentorship with university faculty and industry partners aimed at developing novel curriculum tools to bring groundbreaking research to K-12 students. The National Science Foundation has recognized this as an excellent model for university outreach to schools, and several groups in other states are developing similar programs.

Carbonell获得了曼哈顿学院的化学工程学士学位，以及他的硕士学位和博士学位。在普林斯顿大学的化学工程中。他在1984年抵达NC州之前，他担任加州大学戴维斯教授。
