Student Award Spotlights

2021

Binbin Wang, MSE doctoral student, awarded Presidential Fellowship (May)

Jianxiong Li, WE doctoral student, awarded Presidential Fellowship (May)

Jacque Berkson, WE senior, 1st place at Denman Undergraduate Research Forum (May)

Category - Engineering: Physical Sciences category

Presented on the effects of implementing a binary argon-helium gas mixture within the Laser-Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing process

Tessa Gilmore, MSE Senior, 2nd place at Denman Undergraduate Research Forum (May)

Category - Innovations in Technology, Mathematics, and Physics

Presented the process she developed that uses electrospinning to create both uniaxial and randomly oriented fibers at a high throughput rate. This innovative procedure has the potential to increase fiber production for commercial applications, meaning smart fabrics will be lighter and more versatile than what is on the market today.
