Six students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute recently received a prestigious National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship award.

Fouling is a natural phenomenon that describes the tendency of proteins in water to adhere to nearby surfaces. It’s what causes unwanted deposits of protein to form during some food production or on biomedical implants, causing them to fail. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are harnessing this process, which is typically considered a persistent challenge, to develop a versatile and accessible approach for modifying solid surfaces.

Mae-ling Lokko, an assistant professor in the School of Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been awarded a Future by Design grant from the Architecture Design Fashion division of the British Council, which seeks to builds connections between people in the United Kingdom and other countries through arts, culture, and education.
