As part of this year’s EME Research Showcase, students were invited to submit posters for an exhibition and competition. Posters and talks were submitted prior to the live event for pre-judging. Following, please find the showcase of posters and talks which will be exhibited live in room 134 of the HUB-Robeson Center from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. We hope you explore the many topics shared here by watching the recorded poster talks and join us at the live event for any follow-up questions and discussion.
