Skerlos developed a membrane-based recycling system that allows the extended recycling of coolants and lubricants used in metalworking applications, and for the removal of bacteria harmful to human health. He has also developed a new type of portable sensor that can be used to detect potentially hazardous microorganisms in industrial fluids and other liquids such as drinking water.
Roberts is solely responsible for products that bring in half the company’s revenue. She recently developed and introduced to market an improved X-ray window for use on X-ray detectors on Scanning Electron Microscopes. Along with other engineers at her company, she has a patent pending for a new type of X-ray window that would allow light element detection at high temperatures in a corrosive environment.
Amaya and a developmental team of engineers designed the zero-shrink low-temperature co-fired ceramic tape system. It increases flexibility for the production of micro-electronic substrates, automotive modules, and electronic packages and components.
Steam turbines are in use throughout the world. Cauthen manages the pipeline compression application projects throughout North America.
Stefanopoulou was named as one of World's Top 100 Young Innovators in technology and business by Technology Review magazine in 2002 and received the 2002 Society of Automotive Engineers Teetor Educational Award. |
Steven
Skerlos, an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, is credited for his research and education achievements in developing manufacturing systems with reduced environmental impacts.
Christine
Roberts, an engineer at Moxtek, Inc. in North Orem, Utah, manages engineering and sales activities for X-ray windows for analytical X-ray detectors.
Edmar Amaya, an engineer at Heraeus Inc., in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, co-invented HeralockÔ, a ceramic tape system for use in, among other things, the electronic packaging industry. 
Corey Cauthen, an application engineer at Dresser-Rand in Houston, Texas, manages various steam turbine projects. 
Anna Stefanopoulou, Ph.D., an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, is investigating how fuel cells and other technologies could be implemented to make cleaner automobiles.
