Three Mines faculty members named Fulbright Scholars
Kevin Cash, Juan Lucena and Anuj Chauhan were awarded Fulbright Scholarships for the 2024-25 academic year to research, teach around the world
Three Mines professors were selected as Fulbright Scholars for the 2024-25 academic year and will spend that time conducting research and teaching abroad.
The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world.
The Mines Fulbright winners for 2024-25 are:
Kevin Cash, Associate Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering
Cash will be spending his Fulbright year in Spain, developing open approaches for wide-field bioimaging and spectroscopy with world-class bioimaging researchers at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. He will also be teaching in the university’s Biomedical Engineering program.
“I’m excited to be part of such a vibrant university and to partner with amazing researchers, teachers and students,” Cash said.
Juan Lucena, Professor of Engineering, Design, and Society
Lucena, who is director of the Humanitarian Engineering undergraduate program at Mines, will be developing Humanitarian Engineering Colombia during his Fulbright year. This initiative will bring together faculty, students, community organizations and other strategic partners to create international collaborations, faculty and student exchanges, projects and community partnerships, to bring engineering that supports sustainable community development to serve Colombia’s most vulnerable communities. Lucena previously worked on humanitarian engineering projects in Colombia.
Anuj Chauhan, Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering
Chauhan will be spending a sabbatical at Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea, working with Jinkee Lee, a faculty member there. Although Chauhan was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship, he declined the award due to receiving support elsewhere.
“While I am grateful to the Fulbright Program for the support, I decided to decline the award due to overlap with the project funded by the National Research Foundation of South Korea.”
