2019 Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

Fellows present their research at the annual poster session.Wednesday, June 26 — 4:30-6:30 p.m.

South American AB

The annual Fellows’ Poster Session affords attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about the research supported by the DOE NNSA SSGF and DOE NNSA LRGF programs. The session is divided into two groups, and each presenting fellow is provided space to highlight his or her latest findings. This format allows all attendees – including fellow presenters – to ask questions of and engage in discussion with one another.

First-, second- and third-year fellows: Please review and familiarize yourself with the Guidelines for Poster Presentation document which outlines session logistics, poster size limitations and helpful tips for presenting your work.
