Undergrad Andy Bei Wins AIChE Poster Award

Ronghua (Andy) Bei, who participated in the CSN Research Experience for Undergraduates program last summer, has won second place in the Materials Engineering and Sciences IX section of the student poster competition at AIChE, the Global Conference for Chemical Engineering. Andy’s poster was “A Computational Study of the Coverage of Poly(oxonorbornenes) and O-(2-carboxyethyl)-O′-(2-mercaptoethyl)heptaethylene Glycols on Gold Nanoparticles,” based on work he did in the lab of Professor Rigoberto Hernandez at Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with postdoctoral researcher Dr. Ali Rahnamoun.
