Presentations
Many of our students have presented their research at local, regional, national and international conferences. Some obtain travel funding through SOURCE to attend these.
Matthew Hagy (Polymer Science and Engineering major) presented on Simulation of Orientational Specificity in Hydrogen Bonding Supramolecular Polymers at the ACS Cleveland Meeting-in-Miniature, Notre Dame College, March 7, 2007. He conducted research with Prof. Elena Dormidontova in the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Department. Matthew also worked with Chun-Chung Chen who was a post-doc in Dr. Dormidontova's lab. Matthew has been the recipient of SOURCE Summer Research funding in the past.
Matthew Hagy also presented Simulation of Reversibly Associated Polymers with Orientational Specificity at ACS National, 223rd National Meeting and Exposition, Chicago, IL, March 25, 2007. This research was also conducted in Prof. Dormidontova's lab along with Chun-Chung Chen.
SOURCE offers travel awards for students to travel to conferences to present their research. Here is a list of travel award recipients during the 2006/2007 school year: Annual Summary of Travel Awards (pdf)
