Welcome to the

Mainardi Group

It is a pleasure to congratulate IfM student Ms.

Katherine Keeton as one of two recipients of the Vincent

A. Forte Graduate School Fellowship award.

The $2,000 award is given annually by the Louisiana Engineering Foundation to a student enrolled in a graduate education program in engineering who expresses a sincere desire to enter the teaching profession at the university level upon completion of his/her graduate education.

The award is named to honor Vincent A. Forte, P.E., a founder and first president of the Louisiana Engineering Foundation.

Ms. Keeton is a second year graduate student working under the direction of Dr. Daniela Mainardi.

In the fall she will complete her MS in Biomedical Engineering and will continue to work towards her Ph.D. in Engineering.

Her research involves using computational modeling to investigate limitations with electron transport in the enzyme Methanol Dehydrogenase for bio-fuel cell applications.

She is also a National Science Foundation GK-12 Teaching Fellow. She will be recognized at the 12th Louisiana

Joint Engineering Societies Meeting in Lafayette on

January 24, 2008.
