Lindsey Campbell Receives 2009 Women's Faculty Council Research Award

Lindsey Campbell, Chemical Engineering (ChE) freshman, was one of nine OSU students to receive the Women’s Faculty Council recognition for her undergraduate research. Lindsey is working with ChE Assistant Professor Heather Fahlenkamp on characterizing drug release from a novel ophthalmic drug delivery system. Lindsey will receive a prize of $500 for her excellent research project, and she will present her work during the on-campus award ceremony.

Lindsey is from Haworth, OK. She chose to participate in undergraduate research because, she says, “I have always been interested in the science behind how processes work, and I knew that working in a research lab would be an excellent opportunity to gain experience in that area." Lindsey plans to continue her research and will be seeking funding for her project from the Lou Wentz Foundation.

Dr. Fahlenkamp has only been at OSU for three years, but she is already demonstrating exceptional success in integrating undergraduate students in her research. Notably, Renee Hale received a national Goldwater Scholarship in part as a result of her undergraduate research under the direction of Dr. Fahlenkamp. Congratulations to Lindsey and her advisor!
