2022 Poster Session
5th Annual ND Energy Research Symposium
Thursday, March 31
3:00 - 4:30 p.m.
An important component of ND Energy's research symposium is the poster session for Notre Dame postdoctoral scholars and graduate and undergraduate students during a networking reception. The poster session featured research projects on a broad range of important topics in energy. Attendees and participants engaged in research discussions and enjoyed light refreshments and fellowship. At the conclusion of the symposium, awards were presented to the top three presenters. The winners were:
- Savannah Benjamin, Transformations of a Uranyl Hydroxide Phase: Probing Alteration Behavior Through High Relative Humidity and Ionizing Radiation (Burns lab)
- Zoe Emory, Investigating the Degradation of Uranyl Peroxide Clusters Under Ionizing Radiation (Burns lab)
-
Hanna Hlushko, Silicon and Zirconium Ceramic Material Irradiation in the Presence of Water (LaVerne lab)
