Dr. López-Mejías and Dr. Stelzer were two of the five awardees of the Small Research Grants Program sponsored by the Puerto Rico Science Technology & Research Trust. These funds will be used to provide competitive stipends for graduate students, pay tuitions, summer salaries for undergraduates, and to purchase the complementary materials and equipment necessary to perform the proposed research activities.

Lopez-Stelzer's Lab strikes again!
We want to congratulate two of our students that did an outstanding job and had great achievements for this month. On September 2, our Master's candidate, Betsy Orta, successfully defended her Proposal A for her thesis committee at the Chemistry Graduate Program of the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras. Also, our undergraduate student, José Hernández, gave an amazing scientific talk at the 23rd International Workshop of Industrial Crystallization (BIWIC 2016) in Magdeburg, Germany on September 6-8. In this meeting experts from both industry and academia gather to network and learn about the latest advancements in the field of Industrial Crystallization. Stay tuned!
