The Paul A. Maeder ’75 Fund for Innovation in Energy and the Environment supports the Maeder Graduate Fellowship in Energy and the Environment. Each year, faculty members nominate the very best post-generals, non-DCE graduate students performing research related to energy and/or the environment as impacted by energy. The student may be enrolled in any Ph.D. program on campus and nominations from departments outside of engineering are encouraged.

The 2019 Maeder Graduate Fellowship recipients are Hongshan Guo (architecture) and Evan Zhao (chemical and biological engineering).

Past recipients include:

2018   Ching-Yao Lai (mechanical and aerospace engineering).
2017   Clark Chen (chemical and biological engineering) and Ryan Edwards (civil and environmental engineering)
2016   Wenkai Liang (mechanical and aerospace engineering)
