About Corey
Corey Brugh is junior Chemical and Biochemical Engineering student at the Colorado School of Mines. Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Corey has always shown a strong interest in technology and business. After graduating from LC Anderson High School in 2004, Corey began his career in the restaurant industry. For almost a decade, Corey managed restaurants in Austin, Kansas City, Waco, Raleigh and San Antonio. In the final year of his restaurant career, Corey was a full time engineering student at the Alamo Colleges in San Antonio, Texas. Corey spent one more year in San Antonio at the Alamo Colleges and the University of Texas at San Antonio prior to transferring to the Colorado School of Mines.
Corey chose to finish his BS in Chemical Engineering at Mines because he was planning on simultaneously opening his own restaurant/wine bar with his father whom lives in Denver. As the plans to start his own business were put on hold, Corey aggressively pursued his goals of academic excellence, obtaining an internship with an industry leader, and obtaining a position on campus performing independent research.
Corey is currently researching the rheological effects of ionic liquids on polyelectrolyte solutions. During the summer of 2014, Corey will be in Cincinnati, OH for an engineering research and development position with P&G. For the 2014-15 school year, Corey will be a Resident Assistant in Weaver Towers.
After a semester at Mines, Corey looked for his own unique way of making a meaningful contribution which led him to applying to become the first University Innovation Fellow for the Colorado School of Mines.
