REI intern Ajay Kashi, pictured holding his first place award, with his mentor Anders Laursen, post-doctoral associate.
Rutgers Energy Institute (REI) summer intern Ajay Kashi, a Chemistry and Chemical Biology major who conducts research in Prof. Charles Dismukes’ lab, took home first prize in the student poster competition at the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) National Meeting in Salt Lake City. REI’s home campus is at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences but the institute facilitates interdisciplinary energy research across Rutgers University. The institute’s summer internship is open to highly motivated undergraduates and is intended “to help students understand the breadth of the energy challenge, from the environmental impacts that motivate the transition, to the technological innovation needed to create a viable new system and the socio-economic, policy and energy system frameworks necessary to enable widespread deployment.” Read more on REI intern Ajay Kashi’s award.
