SIMB 2024
The Society for Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology (SIMB) Annual Meeting was in Boston this year! That made it an easy choice for me and my summer undergraduate research fellows – Luke, Avery, and Mel – to attend! They had a poster in the Sunday night poster session (S61 in the conference program) sharing the workContinue reading “SIMB 2024”
SBFC 2024
The Brace Lab was well-represented at the 46th Symposium on Biomaterials, Fuels and Chemicals (SBFC) hosted by the Society for Industrial Microbiology (SIMB) in Alexandria, VA. Boston College Engineering students Isabella Doyle, Bennett Lewis, Gillian Mohr (freshmen), Will Rice, and Claire Richter (sophomores) were all able to go thanks to partial support from the EngineeringContinue reading “SBFC 2024”
AEESP Research & Education Meeting 2022
Well, it’s been a minute since I posted a “blog” update here. In August 2020 I started remotely as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Jeremy Guest’s Group and the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Hard to believe I’m coming up on almost two years in thisContinue reading “AEESP Research & Education Meeting 2022”
2020 ABE Grad Symposium at Purdue
This past weekend was our annual ABE Graduate Student Association (ABE-GSA) Graduate Industrial Research Symposium. Hard to believe this was the 7th annual considering I was here for the … 2nd! This year I wasn’t involved with the symposium planning as I try to wrap up my dissertation work. I was also hosting a visitorContinue reading “2020 ABE Grad Symposium at Purdue”
Highlights from the 2019 AIChE Annual Meeting – Orlando
Thanks to a successful travel grant application to the Purdue Graduate Student Government I was able to attend the 2019 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida, in November. Considering how cold it was in Indiana before I left, it was especially nice to head south and enjoy some beautiful FloridaContinue reading “Highlights from the 2019 AIChE Annual Meeting – Orlando”
AIChE Bioenergy Sustainability in Nashville
I had the opportunity to visit Nashville for the AIChE Bioenergy Sustainability conference in Nashville in October. It was my first time in music city and a great quick trip and I’m glad AIChE gave me the opportunity to join in the events! One of the nice things about small topical conferences is that youContinue reading “AIChE Bioenergy Sustainability in Nashville”
Purdue ABE Graduate Symposium 2019
Another year, another ABE Graduate Symposium! This year’s ABE Graduate Symposium was part of Purdue’s Ideas Festival: Sustainability for the 21st Century events! To celebrate it’s 150th anniversary, Purdue has been hosting many “ideas festival” events, providing opportunities for discussion on critical challenges that will need tackled in the future. The event was open toContinue reading “Purdue ABE Graduate Symposium 2019”
Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels & Chemicals 2018
This past week, students and faculty from the research laboratory I work in were able to give presentations at the annual Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels & Chemicals (SBFC) hosted by the Society for Industrial Microbiology (SIMB). SBFC is always a great meeting to hear about advances not only in biofuels but in bioproducts developmentContinue reading “Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels & Chemicals 2018”
Building Future Faculty Program at NC State
This past week I was fortunate enough to participate in the Building Future Faculty program at North Carolina State University. I applied for the program in the fall and am grateful to have been one of 34 post-docs and PhD students selected from what I understand was a highly competitive pool. According to the programContinue reading “Building Future Faculty Program at NC State”
