Research & Trends

Data and trends show that higher education must now take a stand in making areas of study such as engineering, inclusive for all U.S. citizens.

Ph.D. Student Candidate : T. Akim Nilausen
Born and raised in Iowa City, IA I made the easy decision to stay close to home and attend the University of Iowa. After receiving my B.S. in chemical engineering I decided to stay around for further studies in the graduate program. I am doing research on the feasibility of using extremophilic organisms to convert agricultural wastes into usable chemicals and environmentally friendly products. I have benefited from the Ethnic Inclusion Effort by having the opportunity to interact with students from different backgrounds with the same issues as me.
