Victor Carreto-Vazquez, a graduate student in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering working under the auspices of the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M University, has been recognized as part of a team awarded the Journey Champion distinction by BASF-The Chemical Company.

Carreto-Vazquez, who interned at BASF, was part of a vinsol resin team that assisted seven of the corporation’s facilities in achieving safer operations by identifying flammable dust used at the facilities and helping facilitate transition to a less-flammable variation of the product. Carreto-Vazquez’s internship was in BASF’s Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering division in Wyandotte, Mich.

The honor, which is bestowed by BASF’s senior vice president of ecology and safety, recognizes employees, leaders and teams who have distinguished themselves through their outstanding work while at BASF.
