Case Alumni Association

James M. Galm '84, MS'87, PhD' 91—a three-time graduate of Case Western Reserve University and co-founder of LayerZero Power Systems, a global provider of power infrastructure products for data centers and other mission-critical industries—has committed $10 million to strengthen his alma mater’s leadership in energy and electrochemistry research, education and innovation. The gift will support Case Western Reserve University’s Case School of Engineering and its new Interdisciplinary Science and Engineering Building (ISEB) through the creation of two endowed faculty positions and a new research laboratory focused on high-performance electrochemical energy technologies.

On the eve of final exams, Professor Chris Butler again hosted a Math Gala, where students could find intensive review sessions, camaraderie, and free food. The Case Alumni Association again sprang for the pizza. Here are scenes from Case's mathematics rite of passage.

We’ve been following the ascent of Franco Kraiselburd, from the labs of Arnie Caplan to CWRU’s startup accelerator. Many more are watching, too. The young biomedical engineer is on the cusp of transforming wound care with an infection-fighting bandage. The Plain Dealer recently introduced its readers to the science behind Asclepii, one of Cleveland’s hottest bio tech startups.

From dorm room to wound care: How a former CWRU student built a biotech start-up The Cleveland company has raised $3.5 million and employs 24 people, offering affordable alternatives to expensive wound treatments with products like Poseidon gel.
