President Ryan Smith

AIChE has been a meaningful part of my life for many years now, and I’m deeply grateful for the friendships, professional opportunities, and connections it has provided. I’m honored to have been elected as President and to serve alongside such a bright and driven board this year. I look forward to building on the outstanding work of our predecessors as we continue to foster an inclusive community and provide aspiring chemical engineers with the social and professional foundations needed to thrive both in and beyond the classroom.

Vice President Grayson Ramsey

I help organize career forum, plant tours, and whatever the president needs extra help with. I hope to have multiple plant tours this year and have more overall engagement as an org!!!

Secretary Alex Milliken

As secretary, I take meeting minutes, write the newsletter, and design AIChE’s merch. My main goal is staying organized and ensuring everything within AIChE goes according to plan.

Treasurer Will Eisenhauer

Excited to serve HoChEs again as treasurer! This year, I’m going on a co-op world tour, trying out industries like energy, defense, semiconductor, and more while keeping the budget balanced and making the most of work-life balance. I’m so grateful for the friendships, connections, and gym buddies I’ve nurtured in AIChE and I can’t wait to support another stellar year of programming!!

Social Chair Kenneth Salmeron

Hi everyone! I’m Kenneth Salmeron, and I’m excited to be your Social Chair this year. I’m minoring in Nuclear Engineering and I’m a founding member of Chem‑E Sports. I’m a little chaotic, but I love creating fun moments and seeing joy in the people around me.

If you’ve got time this year, come hang out at our events! We’re building a community that lifts each other up and has a blast doing it

Committee Chairs Deborah Zhou and Christopher Carter

Heya! I'm a Junior in ChemE, interested in pharmaceutical R&D and biotechnology. I'm also in Virginia Tech's fencing club as a sabrist. I'm currently on co-op with Merck at their Gardasil site in Elkton, but I'll be back in the spring semester!

Here at VT, I am minoring in Collaborative Discovery and am a member of ChemE Car. Outside of school, I enjoy anything and everything outdoors!

Webmaster Will Lacson

I keep the AICHE website updated. I plan to collaborate with other ChemE groups to provide everyone with opportunities people might find interesting!
