"TEAM WEIMER receives poster awards at 2005 AIChE Meeting"

Candace Vaughn, senior in chemical and biological engineering, received the First Place Award at the Undergraduate Student Poster session - General Papers. Candace presented her senior thesis research concerning the in-situ synthesis and Atomic Layer Deposition passivation of nanosized metal particles.  A co-author of the paper was Luis Hakim, Ph.D. student, who is Candace's GRA advisor on the project.  Candace also made an oral presentation in one of the Graduate Research Sessions.

Luis Hakim, Chemical and Biological Engineering Ph.D. student, obtained the third place at the Materials and Engineering Sciences Division Graduate Research Poster Session.  Luis presented his research concerning the functionalization of nanoparticles by Atomic Layer Deposition at both the poster session and in an oral presentation.  

Michael Weimer, EE Undergraduate doing an independent study research project in Chemical and Biological Engineering, received the First Place Award in the Graduate Research Particle Technology Forum Poster Session.   He also made an oral presentation.  His research involves the fabrication and development of sub-nanosecond response electrical surge protection devices utilizing Atomic Layer Deposition functionalized conductive core/insulative shell particles.
