| Abstract | The establishing of an exchange program between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden, and the City College of New York is described. The CCNY part of the exchange program has been in existence since 2005 and hosts 2-4 Swedish senior chemical engineering undergraduate or Master students from KTH every summer. The exchange program described in the following has enabled six CCNY undergraduate and Master students to perform research at KTH. Two of these students were funded by the Louis-Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation. The research topics ranged broadly from characterization of fiber materials and colloidal templating to solid oxide fuel cells and electrochemical characterization of metallic biomaterials. The students were placed in pairs into three laboratories. |

| Bio | Ilona Kretzschmar Ilona Kretzschmar received her Diploma (1996) and PhD (1999) degrees in Chemistry from the Technical University of Berlin. From 2000 to 2002, she was a Feodor-Lynen postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and from 2002 to 2004 a research associate in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Yale University. Currently, she holds an associate professor position with tenure at the City College of New York. Her research interests range from particle surface modification via nanomaterials to molecular directed assembly.
Anna Haraldsson received the MS in Chemical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in 2006. Since 2007 she has served as the coordinator for the International Students at the School of Chemical Science and Engineering and the School of Biotechnology at KTH. Since 2008 she also works as instructor at the Chemical Engineering Undergraduate Laboratories. |
