Graduate Student Awards
- Annette Thompson, a chemical engineering PhD student, has received a 2025 National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, for her research around the molecular “assembly lines” cells used to build chemicals like fatty acids.
- Annette Thompson's research could lead to more sustainable ways to make everyday products like medicines and fuels without petroleum-based processes; Nolan Petrich's work could help develop therapies that help repair or replace damaged tissues or organs by using the body’s healing abilities for intestinal diseases.
