Biomaterials Day 3/27

Biomaterials Day features cutting edge research in the biomaterials, biomedical, and biotechnology fields conducted by rising and established faculty and medical professionals in addition to recent industrial advancements and technologies. The goal of Biomaterials Day is to grow and foster a stronger biomaterials community in the South East, motivate and inspire students to lead the next major technological breakthroughs, and promote interdisciplinary research and collaboration between engineering, medicine, and industry. One of our speakers this year is Dr. Miller from UF Chemistry who works with converting biomass into polymeric/chemical feed stocks among other research.

Biomaterials Day features academic talks, student led talks and poster competitions, and an industry information session. Registration for the event is free, and we encourage all students to submit abstracts for our two presentation competitions. More information about the event can be found at our website. http://www.uflbiomaterials.org/

Bioenergy REU at Kansas State

Kansas State University is now accepting applications for the summer 2015 Research Experience for Undergraduates program May 26, 2014 – July 31, 2015.  The application deadline is February 15, 2015.

The Kansas State University Center for Sustainable Energy seeks applications for its summer 2015 REU program in sustainable bioenergy funded by the National Science Foundation.

Students will receive:

$4500.00 (payable in three payments)

room and board is provided

up to $400.00 for travel allowance to K-State

Total value of this 10 week research program is $7,600.00 per student.

Eligibility: We accept students from all science, agricultural, and engineering majors and class years. Applicants must be American citizens or permanent residents. First-generation college students, members of ethnic minority groups, females in STEM disciplines, and other under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. No previous laboratory or research experience is required.

Program Overview: The research you will receive in this program under the guidance of faculty mentors will advance your state of knowledge in sustainable energy. You will participate in “hands-on” experiences with processing agricultural biomass, experiencing the physical environment of industrial-scale biomass processing with all its limitations and opportunities. Students will also meet people that actually perform the work to produce renewable energy in the communities where they live.
