Federico Noris, a doctoral student in environmental and water resources engineering and Donghyun Rim, a doctoral student in architectural engineering, were each selected to receive a Graduate Student Grant-In-Aid from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The students received $10,000 and $7,500 respectively.

Awards are based on advisor recommendations, student and advisor activities, and descriptions of the student’s research project. The students were commended on their state-of-the-art research. Rim, advised by Dr. Atila Novoselac, assistant professor of architectural engineering, studies human exposure to indoor pollutants. Noris, advised by Dr. Kerry Kinney, professor of environmental engineering, analyzes material deposited on air filters.
