Undergraduate researcher receives 2016 Society for Applied Spectroscopy award

Liesl Krause received the 2016 Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) Undergraduate Student Award which recognizes undergraduate researchers for their contributions in the field of spectroscopy.

Liesl KrauseKrause was recognized for her undergraduate research, including the use of spectroscopy in the characterization of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) to biomedical applications. She recently graduated from Villanova University and carried out her undergraduate research at Purdue’s Center for Materials Under eXtreme Environment (CMUXE) during the summer of 2015. She started as a graduate student in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue in the fall of 2016.

Krause accepted her award at the evening poster session of the SAS Great Scientific Exchange (SciX) meeting on September 18 in Minneapolis, MN.

CMUXE is a research unit at Purdue which promotes nuclear, material science, plasma research, and education; it is directed by Ahmed Hassanein, the Paul L. Wattelet Distinguished Professor of Nuclear Engineering.
