Purdue University is offering a new series of three online engineering courses to students aiming for a career in the health care industry and people currently employed in the field. The courses are developed by Davidson School of Chemical Engineering faculty Dr. William Clark, Dr. Gintaras Reklaitis, and Dr. Alina Alexeenko. The courses will provide an opportunity for both new entrants and professionals already working in biomedical and health care positions to extend their technical knowledge, potentially accelerating career advancement.

Several Davidson School of Chemical Engineering undergraduate students were recently honored for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, research, and academic achievement in 2019-2020.

Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Associate Professor Julie Liu is leading research in cartilage tissue engineering, which is the development of a temporary construct that promotes tissue regeneration through the use of a scaffold, cells, and bioactive factors. Cartilage tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have an important role in the future of medicine. Dr. Liu is featured in a recent Purdue Engineering Medium blog post.

Dr. Fabio Ribeiro, the R. Norris and Eleanor Shreve Professor of Chemical Engineering at Purdue University, has received the 2020 Faculty Research Award presented by the Purdue University Chapter of Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society.

Purdue University's Davidson School of Chemical Engineering recently announced the recipients of the 2020 Marilyn Forney Trailblazer Awards. Graduate student Laura Wilcox and undergraduate student Jennifer Barrett are this year's winners.
