CLE AIChE April 9 Newsletter: Dr. Zak's Chemical Engineering Journey from CSU to Lubrizol

Andrew graduated with his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Chemical Engineering from the Washkewicz College of Engineering at Cleveland State University. He completed his Undergraduate Honors and Masters theses in Dr. Joanne Belovich’s lab, where he validated a four-point mechanical load bioreactor testing system and utilized fluorescence spectroscopy and imaging techniques to quantify diffusion and convection of small molecules in canine tibia. Notably, Andrew and his senior design team won the 2014 AIChE National Design Competition, developing an alternative manufacturing process for the production of influenza vaccines using cell culture with the goal of replacing the traditional egg-based platform.
