Warmest congratulations to our fourth-year Ph.D. candidate Guilherme Pereira de Souza Del Rio Bertola on receiving one of two 2025 NERPG; New England Rubber & Plastics Group Scholarships!
The NERPG, a division of the American Chemical Society, supports knowledge exchange among chemists, engineers, and professionals working in rubber and plastics chemistry and engineering. This prestigious scholarship recognizes Guilherme’s innovative research, conducted under the supervision of Professor Anson Ma, on simulating the microwave curing of fully compounded 3D-printed elastomers—advancing rapid prototyping and scalable manufacturing of customized, stretchable components used in medical devices, automotive systems, and consumer products.
We are excited to see the future achievements that await him.
