As I conclude my internship at dott.gallina s.r.l. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all my colleagues for their guidance and support throughout this journey. During my time here, I've gained valuable experience, learned new skills, and forged meaningful connections. I'm excited to take the lessons learned and apply them as I embark on the next chapter of my career. Additionally, I'm excited to share a sustainability initiative I've developed. The project focuses on utilizing pre-consumer polycarbonate scraps by reintroducing them into the production process. This approach enhances sustainability and reduces waste, aiming to leave a positive impact on the environment and contribute to a greener future. Looking forward to seeing the project come to life! ♻️ #Sustainability #Recycling #CircularEconomy #Innovation"

As researchers, our environmental footprint is a responsibility we must take seriously. During the master's internship of Géraldine Menoud, we undertook to quantify as accurately as possible the plastic consumption and the carbon footprint of the experiments conducted during her 4-month internship in our lab. The experiments and their experimental designs were optimized as much as possible to limit the use of consumables (and there is still possibilities for improvement). The results: 30 kg of plastic, equivalent to approximately 72 kg CO2 eq. By carefully considering the environmental impact of the materials we use and adopting more sustainable practices, we can make meaningful progress towards reducing the carbon footprint of laboratories, and this must become a priority.

My Internship with Ourobio this Summer is a little over halfway done, and this is a long overdue post appreciating all that I have been learning, researching, and working with To those who aren’t familiar, Ourobio is a company based in Indianapolis that utilizes engineered microorganisms, to manufacture bioplastics through bioreaction and fermentation to create more sustainable petrochemical alternatives. My Project has focused on process development for extraction and quantification of pigments. In the process of synthesizing their bioplastics, their team found that there was some pigment produced, which had the potential to be extracted and used for the dying of their bioplastic products. My task is to develop and refine a replicable method for quantifying the yield of pigment, as well as separating the pigment from cell mass such that we have high purity pigment suitable for the dyeing process. The first few weeks taught me lots about what was already established, like lab procedures and previously developed fermentation and extraction methods. Much like my experience in the Purdue University Research Labs, these few weeks were a great way to learn about the existing research, as well as to get used to doing smaller tasks in the lab setting. After a few weeks of learning, shadowing, and plenty of literature review, we were ready to begin on our own projects. I began my own process of experimental design and execution, taking into consideration scale-up requirements (such as cost, time, and sustainability) of these processes. The methods we developed focus on the downstream processing/recovery of the pigment, as well as quality control and extraction yield improvement. All throughout the process, my bosses/mentors Kobe Rogers and Brevin Horvath were able to guide me through the tests I was performing, whether that was verifying the biochemistry behind what I was doing, or helping me to determine a good scale to perform the tests at. Regardless of the topic or question, they were ready to teach and guide. I have already learned a lot about this industry and this field of research from everyone in this company. Despite it being a small team, Alec, Kobe, and Brevin have been very effective mentors that have led me to really appreciate the Research and Development cycle, as well as the process engineering that goes into the development of commercial products. Big thank you to the Ourobio Team, the TechPoint Xtern program, and to Eli Lilly and Company & Purdue Office of Professional Practice Interns for Indiana Program for funding/coordinating this summer experience!

This summer, we are thrilled to feature our incredible interns in a Q&A series highlighting their hard work and contributions to key projects. Kicking us off is Sarah Eppley, a Battery Testing and Analytics Intern who has been a valuable asset to our technology team.   1) Why did you choose to intern at Nanoramic? Sarah: I was very excited to get the opportunity to intern at Nanoramic this summer. I have been interested in renewables and energy storage for a long time and was eager to get outside the classroom and see how they played out in industry and what I could contribute. Nanoramic itself is in a really impressive spot working on batteries that can deliver on performance while eliminating harmful environmental components like NMP and PFAS. I, personally, think these considerations are so important for the future and wanted to learn and help out as much as possible.   2) What have you been working on this summer? Sarah: Over the course of the summer, I have been lucky to get to learn the battery fabrication process from slurry, to electrode, to cell. Most of my work now focuses on the cell testing and data analysis side working with my supervisor, Timothy Chu. I really enjoy the diversity of my days here, I love being in the lab and working with the various stages of the process and then getting to see how changes play out on the testing side.   3) What has been the most challenging aspect of your internship so far? Sarah: The most challenging aspect thus far has been the knowledge gap entering the well-developed battery field. Working here I am surrounded by an extremely knowledgeable team, for which I am very grateful, that has taught me about batteries and showed me that I still have a lot to learn. Working on the data analysis end specifically has forced me to dive deeper into the understanding behind topics, as it is not enough just to make a graph. You have to know what it means in a given context. Between working in the lab, learning from colleagues’ updates in our weekly technical sync, and asking a lot of questions, I continue to learn and grow everyday.   4) What are your goals for the future and how do you see this internship helping you achieve them? Sarah: At my core, I love nature and I believe in a better future. We have a long way to go in terms of a completely sustainable and equitable society but I feel it is my responsibility to further this movement. Through my work at Nanoramic I have already gained so much knowledge about batteries and their various applications. Almost more importantly though, I have had the opportunity to experience working on a team of dedicated, intelligent, and kind individuals who inspire me to work harder and study more. Stay tuned for the next Q&A with another one of our summer interns. If you are interested in an exciting, challenging, and rewarding internship opportunity, please reach out to us!   #Internship #SummerInternship #STEM #CleanTech #CleanEnergy #BatteryTechnology #Neocarbonix
