Bev Miller (left, with fellow ChemE Ph.D. student Ashley Conley), a chemical engineering Ph.D. student in assistant professor Steven Caliari's biomaterials lab at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science, recently attended the American Institute of Chemical Engineers Annual Meeting in Boston with support from a 2021 Women in Chemical Engineering Travel Award.
The award included Miller's registration for the meeting, an $800 stipend for travel expenses and complimentary membership in AIChE for the 2021 and 2022 calendar years. Earning the award allowed her to present during a poster session for postdoctoral candidates and give a talk on her research, “Guest-Host Supramolecular Assembly of Injectable Hydrogel Nanofibers for 3D Cell Encapsulation and Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair,” during the conference.
