Student Honored with National Engineers Week Scholarship Award

Thursday, January 15, 2015

In recognition of his academic achievements, Scott Lynn, a chemical engineering junior, has been selected as a recipient of a 2015 National Engineers Week Scholarship.

“I feel honored,” said Lynn, a chemical engineering junior who is currently researching microfluidics with a focus on stop-flow lithography in the lab of Professor Matthew Helgeson.  Lynn commented that Helgeson has had “the biggest impact on my college career.” He hopes to complete an internship this summer working for a colleague’s lithium ion battery start-up in the Bay Area.

The National Engineer’s Week Committee of Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties awards a limited number of scholarships, based on the availability of funds, to academically meritorious or needy students. Scott was selected based on his excellence in academic achievement, as well as his contributions to research in the Helgeson lab on projects related to microfluidic characterization of polymer gels. The award consists of a $1000 scholarship as well as recognition at the National Engineers Week Awards Banquet to be held at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley on February 19th, 2015.
