Student Success

John Tolbert '18, a fourth-year PhD student in polymer science and engineering and member of the Chow Lab, works on characterizing the mechanical and degradation properties of solvent-cast polymer-based scaffolds and membranes. In this video, he explains how he uses 3D printing to create scaffolds that may one day help regenerate damaged knee tissue.

Cong Han and Christopher Ruhl are mechanical engineering PhD students in the Rossin College. Their research on tidal turbines may someday help tidal energy become a viable alternative energy source.

“My work is in the area of turbulent flow and specifically the production and the analysis of turbulent flow on its interaction with tidal stream turbines,” says Ruhl. “The approach we take is unique in the capabilities we have to reproduce tidal current in a laboratory setting.”

IBE student and ISE Student Council member keeps one foot in America and one in his home of Guatemala as he contemplates his future

Marcos Leal ’23 was lucky to be able to go back to Guatemala right before the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020. There, the Integrated Business & Engineering (IBE) student noticed there were a number of local small businesses—people selling their cookies from their house, or selling their art online on Instagram—that were basically existing by word of mouth alone.
