Undergrads shine at the REU poster presentation in polymer research

Posted on August 4, 2023 by ehhgky

Congratulations to our amazing undergraduate interns who presented their posters today!

They’ve been part of the Thomas Group and participated in the College of Engineering Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

This summer, they’ve contributed to cutting-edge research in STEM fields, showcasing their passion and dedication.

We’re proud of their hard work and look forward to seeing them flourish in their scientific journeys!
