2016 Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

First-, second- and third-year students present their research during the annual Fellows' Poster Session.The annual Fellows’ Poster Session affords attendees a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the breadth of research supported by the DOE CSGF program. Each fellow is provided space to present his or her latest findings, and the session is divided into two groups so all participants have the chance to view the displays and ask questions of their peers.

Group I — Presenting 5:15-6:00 p.m.
