The material is primarily made from lignin, an organic molecule that is a main component of wood and other plants, and it can take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from concentrated sources or directly from the air. The research was published by Advanced Materials.
Graduate engineering students and faculty advisors are invited to a presentation given by William Jenks of ORNL’s Office of Research Education to learn about opportunities and mechanisms by which graduate students can come to the ORNL campus for extended periods to carry out dissertation-related research in areas of mutual interest to their major professor and ORNL scientists. These include both DOE-funded and ORNL/university-funded options. Both faculty and interested graduate students are encouraged to attend.
Undergraduate engineering students are invited to a presentation given by William Jenks of ORNL’s Office of Research Education to learn about ORNL’s many opportunities for summer internships and other student programs aimed at undergraduates and recent graduates. The session will give you an idea of different research areas and the keys to a successful application.
Applications for Summer 2025 will open in October. The presentation will give information on multiple Summer 2025 internship opportunities, including:
Assistant Professor Tristan Driscoll, a faculty researcher in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and Florida State University, has received a $1.8 million grant the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to unravel the complexities of how cells within the body sense and respond to directional forces.
Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Florida, she wants to use engineering to help people in the best way she can.
