STUDENT NEWS
Timothy Lee, a graduate
student in civil and environmental engineering, is one of two College
of Engineering graduate students selected to participate in the National
Science Foundation 2004 East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes Program
(EAPSI). About 150 U.S. graduate students spend eight weeks in a laboratory
where they learn about science, as well as the culture and language
of the host country.
Lee is studying at Kyoto University in Japan. Working
with a professor who is a former UW-Madison postdoctoral fellow, Lee
is studying photocatalysis, a process used to clean water and air. Lee,
who performs research on this process at UW-Madison, says the international
experience will establish new collaborative projects that can be maintained
once he returns to the United States.
