Three students from TCE won awards at the fall 2024 Graves Business Plan Competition, a UT pitch competition that provides experience for student entrepreneurs.

A new fermenter and ultrafiltration unit in CBE’s Eastman Unit Operations Laboratory will let undergraduates explore biomolecular engineering more deeply.

Semilore Abiodun-Adeniyi and Victoria Rapalo participated in a research trip to Japan supported by Tennessee Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. 

Grad student Brian Washington founded AluminAiry, a startup battery technology company, and was accepted as a member of the 2024 Spark Cleantech Accelerator cohort.

Hunter Wood’s career goals weren’t supported by his first bachelor’s degree—but UT is giving him the skills to bring his dreams of protein engineering to life.

PhD student Christian Kemefa followed his love of research from Nigeria to Knoxville, where he has improved fuel chemistry in both academia and the industry.

Chemical engineering major Hannah Boyd left the pre-med track behind. Now she’s tackling antibiotic-resistant infections from a new angle in Cong Trinh’s lab.

Felicia Tan returned to Knoxville after living in Indonesia to pursue an engineering degree at UT. She worked nearly 80 hours a week to afford college and is now spending the second straight summer as an intern at Eastman Chemical Company.
