Congratulations to Lipke Lab undergraduate researcher, Michaela Bush, for publishing her research in the Auburn University Journal of Undergraduate Scholarship! The work showcased in this article was performed as a part of Michaela’s Undergraduate Research Fellowship and we are incredibly proud of her contributions to the lab. Check out her article here!
This summer, our Lipke Lab undergraduate researchers spread out across the world (literally) to enrich their undergrad experience and broaden their knowledge through internships, fellowships, and study abroad opportunities. Joshita Suresh was accepted to the HudsonAlpha BioTrain Internship program and spent her summer in Huntsville, AL, with our collaborators, CFD Research Corporation. Emma Hicks traveled to Dublin, Ireland with the UA in Ireland: Chemical Engineering program. In between exploring castles, Emma took Transport Phenomena and Stem Cell Bioengineering courses at University College Dublin. Hanna Hammons was hard at work at a co-op with Procter and Gamble. Andrew Moore and Michaela Bush were both awarded the AU Undergraduate Research Fellowship and spent all summer right here in the Lipke Lab. The rest of our many undergraduates spent their time either in the lab or taking courses at Auburn!
Congratulations to Lipke Lab undergraduates Gabi and Luke for winning 1st and 2nd place overall in the STEM category for their oral presentations at the university-wide Auburn Student Research Symposium! We are so proud of both of them for their dedication to their research and phenomenal presentations!
Lipke Lab undergraduate researchers Gabi, Michaela, Joshita, Emma, Bryana, and Luke, as well as graduate researcher Iman, presented their work at the Auburn Student Research Symposium. We are so proud of their hard work and dedication to the Lipke Lab!
Congratulations to our very own Bryana Harris, Luke Anderson, and Joshita Suresh who were each awarded the Auburn Undergraduate Research Fellowship! #WarEagle #AuburnEngineering
