Among the three winning research groups at this year's Innovation Forum, two came from laboratories affiliated with chemical and biological engineering.
The Keller Center held it's 13th Annual Innovation Forum on March 14, distributing $30,000 among three groups. Nine groups competed in a series of presentations that ranged from a new design in flowmeters, augmented reality for monitoring bridges, and robust nanoparticles for improving peptide antibiotics.
First place went to Next Generation Flowmeters, a group led by Egemen Kolemen, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment, and the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab.
Second place went to Photo Pharma, a group led by José Avalos, assistant professor of chemical and biological engineering and in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment.
Third place went to Nanoparticles to Eliminate Superbugs, by Kurt Ristroph, graduate student in chemical and biological engineering.
