Goertzen chosen to attend prestigious Future Leaders in Chemical Engineering symposium

Nov. 18, 2022 - Andrea Goertzen, a senior chemical engineering major, was one of 24 students from across the United States chosen to attend the Future Leaders in Chemical Engineering symposium, held in October 22-23 in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Future Leaders in Chemical Engineering is a national award symposium for undergraduate researchers and is organized by the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at North Carolina State University.

A small group of undergraduate students was chosen to present their work and be recognized for their achievements. Goertzen presented her research – titled, "Systems-level Modeling Illustrates Metabolic Landscape of Diseases" – that she has been working on in the lab of Rajib Saha, assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering.

Goertzen, who has been doing research since her freshman year, is also one of 43 College of Engineering students chosen by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to receive 2022-23 UCARE stipends, which support undergraduate research opportunities.
