Congratulations to CSN grad students Becky Curtis (left) and Eric Ostovich (right), both from the lab of Rebecca Klaper at UW-Milwaukee, who won awards for their research presentation posters at the Midwest Society for Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry meeting in LaCrosse last week! Becky won the “best poster presentation” award for her poster titled “Next-generation battery cathode material lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) nanosheets and metabolomic impacts to freshwater crustacean Daphnia magna.” Eric won “runner-up” for his poster “Developing an in vitro model from Daphnia magna to evaluate the molecular Interactions of nanoparticles.”

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.
