A national magazine has recognized a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga graduate as one of the best chemists in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Erika Milczek, who graduated in 2005 with a degree in chemistry, has been selected by Chemistry and Engineering News <\/em>as a 2020 \u201cTrailblazer,\u201d a title that celebrates female entrepreneurs in chemistry. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Milczek created Curie Co. which researches chemicals that can kill microorganisms or stop their growth. Known as antimicrobials, they include antibiotics that kill bacteria or antifungals to kill fungi. They are used in such products as soap, shampoo and body lotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While many antimicrobials use chemicals that are being banned or under federal scrutiny, Milczek decided she could create them using natural ingredients that are biodegradable, safe and not being boycotted by large retailers. She also believed she could do it without making the products that use them too expensive for shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cI am a chemist. I can come up with better solutions,\u201d she said in Chemistry and Engineering News.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So she did. Curie Co., using recycled marine biomaterials on products now available in Walmart, Target and other retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fan of Eastern European theater, he established an exchange program between UTC and Masaryk University in the Czech Republic city of Brno.\u202fSomething of a sentimental pack rat, he archived reminders of his children\u2019s accomplishments, including poetry by his son Gabriel and stories written by his daughter Maggie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Emeritus\u00a0Jim Lewis<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0the Department of Performing Arts passed away June 12.

The studio theater\u00a0in the Fine Arts Building\u00a0is named\u00a0for him, as is\u00a0an endowed scholarship.\u202f Lewis\u00a0was active in the community\u00a0as a member of\u00a0the boards of the Chattanooga Ballet and the Southern Writers\u2019 Conference. He enjoyed music, travel, great food, college basketball and good conversation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyle Knight,\u00a0<\/strong>professor of organic chemistry,\u00a0passed away Aug. 8.

His research\u00a0was published\u00a0in international\u00a0scholarly periodicals such as the\u202fJournal of Physical Chemistry<\/em>\u202f and \u202fJournal of the American Chemical Society<\/em>. He involved undergraduates in\u00a0all of\u00a0his research activities, mentoring over 40 students during his 23-year career at UTC. He sponsored the local chapter of Gamma Sigma Epsilon, the national chemistry honor society and was an active outdoorsman who enjoyed\u00a0kayaking in the Chattanooga area.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linda\u00a0Pickthorne\u00a0Fletcher<\/strong>\u00a0passed away April 20.

She created the Institute for Women as Entrepreneurs, an outreach service of the UTC College of Business, helping local women and minorities with new venture creation and the transition to self-employment. She was a board member at EPB, Girls, Inc.;\u00a0AmSouth Bank and YMCA Chattanooga, among other organizations. Her support of new, innovative programs in entrepreneurship opened\u00a0careers for many students, particularly women. She broadened the horizons of many\u00a0of her students by making them more aware of other cultures through international travel.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
