Congratulations to the EWS-Framatome Scholarship winner!
Supriya Charuhas Karekar is this year's winner of the EWS-SWE Framatome Scholarship.
Supriya is a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University, Tri-Cities. Her doctoral research focuses on development of systems to achieve higher mass transfer rates for gas liquid fermentation for increased production of volatile fatty acids, bio-engineering of rumen for reduction in methane emission from ruminants and development of in situ separation processes for extraction of fermentation products. Along with these primary projects, she has also successfully worked on production of lignin carbon fibers, a project that was given to her as a work assignment. She has presented her work at peer meetings and conferences. She has traveled to Aalborg University, Copenhagen, Denmark for her Ph.D. research project. As a part of her internship, she has worked at Lanzatech as a plant supervisor and was promoted to a site lead very quickly after for her excellent performance at work. Apart from her research accomplishments, she has served as an International Student Ambassador at Washington State University, Tri-Cities, to help and guide new graduate and under-graduate student applicants. She is a part of the WSU Tri-Cities volleyball team and has represented WSU at intercollegiate volleyball competitions. She was also a EWS-SWE judge for the 2019 Mid Columbia Science Fair, and has presented to K-12 students and parents on “Being a Woman in Science and Engineering” at the 2017 Richland Three Rivers Science Fair. Before coming to U.S.A, she pursued her Bachelors and Masters in Biotechnology from University of Mumbai, India. She believes that "No science is a science unless it benefits the mankind".
