Bartelt-Hunt named Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors fellow
Shannon Bartelt-Hunt, civil and environmental engineering, was named a fellow of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors. Fellows are selected based on their accomplishments in environmental engineering and science research, teaching and professional service. Bartelt-Hunt’s research on the fate of emerging contaminants in agricultural systems has advanced understanding of how trace organic contaminants, like microplastics and pharmaceuticals, impact environmental and human health. She has mentored a diverse group of around 40 graduate students at Nebraska and guides undergraduate students in gaining research experience.

Ryu's grant enables unique study abroad research experience
Three Nebraska Engineering students and a physics student from Nebraska Wesleyan University are on a unique research adventure for nine weeks, working on a project at a university in Japan. The team, which left May 22 for Japan, is supported with a three-year grant awarded to Sangjin Ryu, associate professor of mechanical and materials engineering, from the National Science Foundation International Research Experiences for Students program. Currently, the students are completing eight weeks of work alongside researchers at Toyohashi University of Technology who are using microfluidics and CMOS sensors to develop portable diagnostics devices to detect viruses or bacterial pathogens.
