Congratulations to Waleed Yual, selected as an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Award Recipient!

"My family is originally from Khartoum, Sudan. We immigrated to Des Moines Iowa where I grew up and fell in love with science and running. I continued my education at Luther College; a small predominately undergraduate institution where I fell in love with chemistry and science. I got the great opportunity to participate in an NSF research for undergrads program at the University of Tulsa the summer before I finished my degree where I decided Graduate school would be for me. I committed to the University of Arizona to be able to work on renewable energy and material science. Specifically, now I get to work on Organic Redox flow batteries for grid scale energy storage under Dr. Thomas Gianetti who owns CarbeniumTec a startup where we are implementing our research. I love Arizona it has nurtured my love of science and given me a beautiful place to live. I'm grateful to receive this award, I've loved being a Teaching Assistant and getting to learn with students. I'd like to thank the countless people who've helped me in my career, I am beyond grateful." ~ Waleed Yual
