Four researchers from the Weimer Research Group received poster contest awards听at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers听annual meeting, this year held in Phoenix, Nov. 11-14.听
Alan Weimer,听Melvin E. and Virginia M. Clark听professor of chemical and biological engineering, said his students have been presenting papers at the AIChE听meetings for years, but this was the听most awards听that his students have ever brought home听at one conference.听听This year also marks the fourth consecutive year听that Weimer's听PhD听students have received the Particle Technology Forum Poster Award.
"I am extremely proud of the work that my students do," Weimer听said. "I'm especially proud of听the collaborative team effort among all of them鈥攕upporting each other,听practicing talks together, making improvements with every听'dry run' and being able to answer the critical 'why questions.' "
With more than 400 students presenting and about 100 judges, AIChE's annual meeting听is the largest forum for Chemical Engineering undergraduates to present their research activity to the professional community at large.
