The Catal­y­sis Club of Philadel­phia held the 2010–2011 Stu­dent Poster Com­pe­ti­tion Octo­ber 21st, 2010 with 28 stu­dent entries, and one post-doc­tor­al pre­sen­ter. The four run­ners-up includ­ed, Kevin Doura (Lehigh Uni­ver­si­ty) with “Cat­a­lyst by Design: Tun­ing the Selec­tive Oxi­da­tion of CH₃OH to Dimethoxymethane over Sup­port­ed V₂O₅ – WO₃/TiO₂/SiO₂ with TiO₂ Nano­li­gands”; Gho­lam­reza Ros­tamikia (Penn­syl­va­nia State Uni­ver­si­ty, Uni­ver­si­ty Park) with “First Prin­ci­ples Design of Elec­tro­cat­a­lysts for Direct Boro­hy­dride Oxi­da­tion”; Andrew Fer­ens (Vil­lano­va Uni­ver­si­ty) with “Oxida­tive Dehy­dro­gena­tion of Ethanol to Acetalde­hyde and Eth­yl Acetate by Graphite Nanofibers”; and Xin Li (Uni­ver­si­ty of Delaware) with “Selec­tive Oxi­da­tion of Propane to Acrylic Acid over Sin­gle Phase M1 MoVTeN­bOx Cat­a­lysts”. Top hon­ors went to Kevin Bakhmut­sky from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Penn­syl­va­nia, with his poster titled “The Influ­ence of Cobalt Load­ing on Oxi­da­tion of Sup­port­ed Cat­a­lysts for Fis­ch­er-Trop­sch Syn­the­sis”. Along with top hon­ors, Kevin also received an invi­ta­tion to present his research at the Catal­y­sis Club’s Annu­al Spring Sym­po­sium to be held in May 2011 at Vil­lano­va Uni­ver­si­ty.
