Meijun Won AIChE and Graduate School Travel Awards

Congratulations to Meijun Zeng (the 2nd from right, PhD student)! She won AIChE (Division of Forest and Plant Bioproducts) and UW-Madison Graduate School Student Research Grants Competition (SRGC) Award (Research Travel), which supported her to present “Chemical synthesis of potential prebiotic oligosaccharides from simple sugars and lignocellulosic biomass in concentrated acids” at 2022 AIChE Annual Meeting held in Phoenix, AZ. Meijun has been working on the synthesis of prebiotic oligosaccharides from low-cost sugars and lignocellulosic biomass for her PhD project.
