Congratulations to CBEE undergraduate students Michael Valerino,
Matthew Sweeney, and Apurva Shah, who presented their work at the AIChE Annual Student Conference poster competition on Monday, November 9th, 2015 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Apurva Shah brought home a 1st Place trophy in the Sustainability discipline for his poster entitled Food-Energy-Water Nexus: Quantifying the energy and GHG emissions of water embodied in food flows with the U.S.

The Annual Student Conference is four days of career information, social events, competitions, and fun. Student engineers from more than 150 schools celebrate the Chemical Engineering profession, along with young professional members, AIChE leaders, and industry professionals from numerous engineering specialties.

With more than 350 students presenting last year and about 80 judges, it is the largest forum for Chemical Engineering undergraduates to present their research activity to the professional community at large.

Posters are judged by a panel of typically 3 or 4 AIChE professional members from academia and industry.
