The department hosted their annual graduation party for our FST graduates. We celebrated 3 undergraduate students, 2 master’s students, and 3 PhDs who completed degrees during the autumn semester. We also published a special edition graduation newsletter that gave the graduates a chance to share some of their favorite memories as well as acknowledge some of the people who supported them. Congratulations and best of luck to our newest alumni.
Dr. Chris Simons talks about mouthfeel in the article “A Mouthful of Mouthfeel” by Chemistry World.
FST graduate student Rinky Ghosh and Dr. Yael Vodovotz have been awarded an Undergraduate Research Access Innovation Seed Grant. Their proposal offers expanded research opportunities for undergraduates at Ohio State and is titled “Understanding Bioplastic Degradation and End-of-Life Management: An Undergraduate Research Initiative.”
Congratulations to Dr. Valente Alvarez and Gary Wenneker on reaching the 30-year milestone of service to The Ohio State University. Dr. Alvarez currently serves as professor and Director of the Wilbur A. Gould Food Industries Center and Gary serves as the Brewster Dairy Pilot Plant Manager.
