Ewelina A. Randall, a senior in ����Ӱҵ’s Grove School of Engineering, is the winner of an internationally contested undergraduate award from the . The honor is presented to top junior or senior undergraduate students globally in recognition of outstanding research in the area of spectroscopy. 

Randall, a Polish-born mechanical engineering major residing in Brooklyn, was nominated for the award by her research advisor . “This is for my work in the construction of hyperspectral microscopy of visible and near infrared fluorescence and the development of near-infrared nanosensors that transduce information via spectral changes in living cells and animals,” she said.

The award comes with a one-year membership to the Society of Applied Spectroscopy and a certificate.

For more than 60 years, the Society has been committed to education and to providing quality benefits to members worldwide. Its objective is to advance and disseminate knowledge and information concerning the art and science of spectroscopy and other allied sciences. It publishes the internationally recognized and  peer-reviewed journal “Applied Spectroscopy.”

This is the latest accolade for Randall, whose career goal is to continue contributing to nanoengineering research that falls within the field of cancer nanomedicine, sensing and early detection of diseases. 

She was the Travel Award Recipient for the 241st Electrochemical Society (ECS) Meeting and presented her research, “,” during the poster session at the ECS conference in Vancouver, Canada, last June.
 
Randall has also been the recipient of the Pearl Tsung,  Mehashi Yeheskel JiJi; and Kenneth and Gloria Levy awards from the Grove School, in addition to the Marius Ivascu Aviation Foundation Award sponsored by the Community Foundation of Orange and Sullivan. 

Last summer, she was chosen to participate in the Health and Climate Solutions REU program at .
