Yesterday, five students from the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry presented posters of their research at the annual Undergraduate Research Conference. Pictured above are analytical chemist Dr. Muna (left) and her two mentees Megan Conn (center) and Nikki Sweet (right). Her students performed their research last fall as part of Muna's CHEM-C 410 Instrumental Analysis course. Pictured below are Megan Conn again (left) and Dr. Rizk's two mentees Morgan Underdue (center) who began work this spring and Zahra Aljuboori (right) who has been working with Rizk for a few semesters. Not pictured is biochemistry major Emily Barrera who presented her work with ecologist Dr. Marr from the Department of Biological Sciences. Titles of all the students' research projects are listed below.
