S&T chemical engineering students Caleb Long and Thomas Niebrugge recently worked with Dr. Hossein Abedsoltan, assistant teaching professor of chemical and biochemical engineering, on a wine fermentation research project. The students visited St. James Winery, where S&T alumna Kendra Wood provided a tour of the wine-making process.
Long and Niebrugge prepared a research poster that combined observations from the winery visit with fermentation literature, and Long presented the poster at the 2025 AIChE Mid-America Regional Conference in April at the University of Oklahoma.
The project was supported by Dr. Christi Patton Luks, teaching professor of chemical and biochemical engineering, and St. James Winery.
