This year's emcee is Dr. Stephanie Luster-Teasley, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.
Dr. Luster-Teasley’s research accomplishments include receiving patents from the United States, Great Britain and Canada for development of a controlled-release chemical oxidation polymer system for remediation of water and wastewater. She is the first African-American woman and first faculty member at A&T to receive international patents. Her technology was licensed in 2017 by a company to market nationally as an emerging remediation method for groundwater and soil contamination.
After earning her B.S. in chemical engineering at A&T, Dr. Luster-Teasley earned an M.S. in chemical engineering and Ph.D. in environmental engineering, both from Michigan State. She returned to A&T in 2004 after working in private industry as an environmental engineer. Her research interests include environmental remediation, water sustainability and engineering education. She is a full professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering where she served as the Department Chair for 4 years.
