From curiosity to competence: A Journey of young undergraduate Students in Chemical Engineering Research | |
A junior undergraduate at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering has built a robust academic and research portfolio, shaping his career goals and passion for science. His early work on nitrate remediation earned first place at the NOBCChE conference, boosting his research confidence. Participation in conferences like Space-Vision and ERN provided networking opportunities and multiple awards, affirming his research quality. Winning the Best Poster award at the ACS Spring 2024 conference for work on Norovirus inhibition further showcased his skills. These experiences have enhanced his professional abilities and commitment to promoting diversity in STEM.
