OU Engineering Undergrads Take Top Prizes at AIChE Competition
AIChE – American Institute for Chemical Engineers –is the world's leading organization for chemical engineering professionals, with more than 60,000 members from more than 110 countries.
First-place winner, Landry, presented on the synthesis of modified spirocyclic polymers. Patel won second place for his research on the fabrication of perfluorinated polymer blends and their thermodynamic and transport characterization.
Landy and Patel are advised by CBME assistant professor Michele Galizia and are members of Galizia’s Membrane Lab, which aims to develop new polymer-based materials for large-scale gas, vapor and liquid separation membranes.
