Mines student Daniel Harrison (center) won first place in the annual student poster competition sponsored by the Colorado Center for Biorefining and Biofuels (C2B2). C2B2 runs an NSF-sponsored Research Experience for Undergraduates program each summer, bringing students from around the country to perform internships at one of the four participating institutions of the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory (Mines, CU-Boulder, CSU and NREL).
Harrison was one of 20 students who participated in this year’s program. His poster described his research project, “Green Carpeting from Biobased Plastics.” David Ruehle (right), a graduate student in Chemical Engineering, served as Harrison’s mentor and the project was directed by Professor John Dorgan, also of the Chemical Engineering Department.
