ChemE Alum Ben Magruder, B.S. ‘20, was awarded the prestigious Schmidt Science Fellowship earlier this year. The Schmidt Science Fellowship is awarded to promising early-career scientists who are looking to pivot to a new area of study.
Magruder will transition from Materials Science to Biochemistry, studying how neurogenerative diseases start at the molecular level.
“The Schmidt Science Fellowship gives me the chance to dive headfirst into a whole new discipline and really push the limits of what I can get out of my postdoc,” Magruder says.

Next week we kick off ChemE's Distinguished Young Scholars Seminar (DYSS) series. First up: Rachel Gaines!
Gaines is a postdoctoral fellow at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where she studies the electrocatalytic upgrading of complex wastes.
Gaines will give her talk, Trash CAN Do That: Electrocatalytic Reaction Engineering for Upgrading of Complex Industrial Wastes, on Tuesday, July 7, from 4-5 p.m. on Zoom.

Lauren Ellis, B.S. ’26 was among our graduates who earned their diplomas earlier this month. (In fact, she was one of the students to give an undergraduate student address!).
Lauren is a Husky through and through. Yet her undergraduate journey started elsewhere – at Bellevue College, on the eastside of Lake Washington. In this short video, Lauren explains her research on plastic recycling, discusses her UW experience and shares tips for future ChemE students.

Bret Snyder, Ph.D. '96, was named the Moulton Distinguished Alumnus in Industry at graduation last week. Snyder is the President and Chief Executive Officer of W. L. Gore & Associates and Chair of the company’s Board of Directors.
In this short clip from Snyder's acceptance speech, he reflects on his time as a graduate student at UW ChemE.
