What projects are you currently working on or researching at SyracuseCoE?
My current research is looking at the fluid mechanics of the wake produced by a bio-inspired pitching panel.
What is the most important thing that you have learned through your research endeavors at SyracuseCoE?
The most important thing that I have learned through my research at SyracuseCoE is to start any important project or assignment as early as you can. It is much easier to deal with unexpected difficulties and problems when you are ahead of schedule.
How does your research at SyracuseCoE help to advance your academic studies and/or future career path?
The research that I perform at SyracuseCoE is an integral component of my thesis work. It would be impossible for me to advance my academic studies without my lab at SyracuseCoE.

Absolutely. Working in a place like SyracuseCoE is different. It’s a different mind-set. They go about things differently. Even just working in a building with a bunch of glass and light coming in, when you go to work in an office building you kind of miss it. Also, working with people there that have such great minds that you can kind of pick if you have an idea, if you’re kind of thinking of something. So, the really driven work ethic they go through at SyracuseCoE does rub off on you. Everything, the building, the people, the work, it all rubs off in some way.
For other students who are in your program, do you have advice for them about getting into the field of entrepreneurship?
Just jump into it and learn. You’re going to learn so much not only about building a company, but you’re going to learn so much about yourself. You’re going to learn about how much adversity you’re willing to cut through to get a job done, and no matter what company you build, you’re going to run into speed bumps and you’re going to have to figure out how to get over them. College is a great place to think about becoming an entrepreneur because you’re in this “bubble” so to speak. The real-world issues that would apply to the standard person doing the 9-5 don’t really apply to you, especially if you’re an undergrad. So if you’re a college entrepreneur, now’s the time to go for it, now’s the time to do it.
Why would you say students should intern at SyracuseCoE?
Intern at SyracuseCoE if you want to get a different view of the world, so to speak. This is a part of the university that has different thinking. They’re all about clean tech, renewables, and an alternative energy source. If you want to see and be around the latest and greatest in clean tech, and work on the latest and greatest clean tech projects, then this is the place you need to be. If you have any intentions of working in the clean-tech field, then SyracuseCoE is one you want to work in and where you would want to be.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU9pn9ulnrw”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unS15Py_oFM”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Lauren Bailey” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Bachelor of Science, Public Relations, S.I.

I have learned about the importance of research and planning for any project, especially within such a niche industry. As a communications intern, it is very important to know how to best reach a target audience, and which terms/tactics to use. I also now know a ton about website development and design.
What was the best part of your experience?
The best part of my experience was learning more about the environmental and energy systems industry. It was very fascinating to see all of the hard work and dedication that each researcher, student, partner and employee contributes to the industry, as well as how SyracuseCoE helps them with their efforts.
How do you envision your future career?
In the future, I hope to work for a public relations agency for a few years and then maybe switch to corporate public relations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Morgan Bulman” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Master of Arts in Magazine, Newspaper and Online Journalism, S.I.

A lot! I now have a greater understanding of what it’s like to work in a CMS system such as WordPress. I’ve also been able to obtain a greater understanding of how much impact one word can have when perfecting a message.
What was the best part of your experience?
To be able to work in an environment that allows you to leave your desk in order to find the best spot suited for creativity.
How do you envision your future career?
I’m hoping I’ll be working in either science journalism or doing something at the crossroads of communications and sustainability. I want to be able to raise awareness around environmental issues in a way that is both engaging and interesting for an audience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Summer El Deeb” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Bachelor in Landscape Architecture, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, Building Management Systems Intern” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”12348″ img_size=”200×200″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]What are you currently doing at SyracuseCoE?
I currently manage all the drawing records associated with construction of the building. These drawings include: project documents, site photos, submittals, agreements, and contractor documents. I help handle the visual display installations, storage inventories, equipment records, and organize the drawings database for Syracuse. I also help with events and tours as much as I can.
Do you have any advice for students in your field?
Most students in Landscape Architecture want to design. I feel like you need to study the design and see how the process goes on, instead of going ahead and just being a designer. Studying other people designing is very important. Seeing the process of this building go from a brownfield all the way to a LEED Platinum certified building was wonderful. It was the greatest experience anyone could experience in life.
How do you envision your future career?
The greatest thing I want to move on to do is manage stormwater. From soil erosion to impacting human health and other stuff, generating places that could help the stormwater filtrate better in the soil before entering the sewer system is something I would love to do.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XQLe4TT5eQ”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLIDWQuD4DM”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Ryan Falkenstein-Smith” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Ph.D. in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Syracuse University, Researcher in COMER Lab” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”12356″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]What projects did you work on or research while at SyracuseCoE?
I worked on a number of projects, but focused heavily on an oxygen-transport membrane for carbon capture purposes. Essentially, you use a singular membrane to deliver pure oxygen separated from the surrounding air that delivers to your fuel, and you have a combustion reaction at a higher temperature to capture Co2 and H2O.
How did your research at SyracuseCoE help to advance your academic studies and/or future career path?
When I started out, my research direction was very focused on fundamental stuff. SyracuseCoE definitely broadened that in terms of application and working with the community, as well as with potential collaborators. Syracuse Center of Excellence’s big thing is about sustainability and a greener tomorrow. My original project was just seeing if this was feasible, this technology, but it became, “can we move this into sustainable technologies?” So really, it broadened my scope in terms of the end user and how to benefit not only just the research community but the general community overall.
Do you have any advice for those who are coming to work in the COMER Lab?
The Combustion Energy Research Lab has a number of opportunities in fuel cell science and technologies as well as material sciences and combustion sciences. One of the benefits that I learned is it’s not something that will get you to somewhere that you should be, but where you want to be. A lot of researchers that are just starting out may have a general idea of what they want to do, but the one thing that the COMER Lab does is that it expands on what you know, to what you should know, to what you want to know. This is extremely beneficial to becoming a professional researcher, not only in an academic setting but in an industrial setting or a government setting. So, it really prepares you for all of these opportunities that are out there.

I found funding opportunities for partner companies. This was very helpful in finding funding opportunities for my own lab.
What has been the best part of your experience?
To be the best possible journalism student I can be, I try to make myself well-versed in subjects and areas I’m not familiar with; however, there’s only so much you can learn by solely reading. The best part of my time here at CoE would thus, without a doubt, have to be exposure. Having the opportunity to be surrounded by intellectuals and researchers has allowed me to better understand the amazing work we’re doing here, and has opened my eyes to ideas and work I never thought was possible.
What have you learned so far?
Because I work with CoE’s social media channels, I’ve learned how to market content to individuals in the scientific field, but also to those who aren’t as familiar with the field; half of the battle of writing a strong article is selling the story. Over the past weeks, I’ve gotten a great grasp on how to create engaging content while maintaining our voice and ideas.
How do you envision your future career?
I’ve always had a fascination with social media and emerging media, so after graduation I’d love to pursue that field in a corporate communications setting.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Attila Melegh” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Bachelor of Science, Aerospace Engineering, College of Engineering & Computer Science, Syracuse University, Marketing Intern” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”12394″ img_size=”200×200″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]What do you do at SyracuseCoE?
Here at the CoE, I am a marketing intern actively involved in the ongoing rebranding efforts and web development initiatives to spread awareness of, revitalize, and attract young entrepreneurs and companies to the SyracuseCoE facilities.
What is something interesting about yourself?
Currently studying aerospace engineering here at Syracuse University with a physics minor. I enjoy traveling, surfing, skiing, gastronomy, and learning; and I speak four languages with fluency.
What do you hope to do in the future?
I am developing a software startup set to revolutionize the e-commerce marketplace.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Ryan Milcarek” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Certificate of Advanced Study in Sustainable Enterprise, Certificate in University Teaching, Researcher in COMER Lab” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”12736″ img_size=”200×200″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]What projects did you work on/research while at SyracuseCoE?
- Collaborative Research Project 2017 – Institute of Fluid Science – Tohoku University, Title: Micro combustion for clean and efficient syngas formation and fuel cell applications.
- NEXUS-NY Grant – Cohort 4, Title: Flame-assisted Fuel Cells for micro-CHP, Entrepreneurial Lead
- National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP), Title: Flame-assisted Fuel Cells for micro-Combined Heating and Power
- Syracuse Center of Excellence (CoE), Title: Reduced NOx RQL Combustor and Flame-assisted Fuel Cell
- New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Title: Resilient Residential Boiler/Furnace with Flame-assisted Fuel Cell (RRB FFC)- Currently a big picture of my project is trying to take all of this infrastructure we have that’s combustion-based and try to make it a little bit cleaner, and try to add some additional benefits to it. So we have boilers, hot water heaters, furnaces, they all generate heat, but what if we could actually make them electricity-generating too? That’s kind of the big picture. Power goes out all the time, you lose your hot water, those are different challenges for families, and they can actually create a significant amount of property damage that you’re going to have to pay for. So, the big picture is when we actually take some of this infrastructure and transform it into a fuel cell so you can generate power and you don’t have to worry anymore about power outage.
What lab did you work in and who was the leading faculty member?
I worked in the Combustion and Energy Research (COMER) Lab, which is led by Jeongmin Ahn, Ph.D.
Facilities is a demanding environment which requires quick critical thinking skills. It is hard for me to just pick one thing I learned, but if I were to choose I would say: “Something I learned was that though you may not always know the solution to every problem, it is a necessary skill to know who to call when an issue presents itself. Your help network, whether it be the Physical Plant, a local contracting agency, or your in-house janitorial, is the key to a strong foundation when running any type of facility.”
Where are you working now?
I am working at SyracuseCoE partner, SRC, Inc., as a Facilities Engineer.
Do you have any advice for students in your field?
My boss at SyracuseCoE, Paul McCarthy, helped me redefine engineering, with an understanding that thinking critically may not always involve numbers but could actually be as simple as “common sense”. Some solutions can actually be derived from communicating with others over a problem, without involving intense equations or theory. For any emerging engineers trying to find their way into what career path they truly desire, I would encourage, do not forget, that you are more than the numbers and solutions you can produce at the speed of light. Make sure to work on your communication and interpersonal skills, because even engineers have to convince different types of audiences that their work is innovative and transcending in any corporate environment. Even in Facilities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Garnette Pereira” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23d44500″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_custom_heading text=”Master of Science, Information Management, Syracuse University School of Information Studies, Communications Intern” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”12350″ img_size=”200×200″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]What was the most important thing that you learned through your internship at SyracuseCoE?
I think the most important thing that I learned while at my internship was asking for help when needed and always asking for feedback on your work. These two things help improve the quality of your work and help you see things the way from a non-technical person’s eyes as well.
Where are you working now?
Currently, I am in between jobs. I was interning at SAP America at their Pennsylvania office before.
Do you have any advice for students in your field?
Never stop learning about all the new technologies that keep getting introduced and try to always stay up-to-date and well-informed.
