Another great Clarkson University Research and Project Showcase in the books – very proud of Almeida Lab PhD Candidate Rabia Fatima and undergraduate researchers Erin Reynolds and Roy Annis on their work!

Also presenting work by Spencer Lassard and Sienna Snyder, undergraduate students co-advised by Dr. Melissa King on a new collaborative project!

These students have worked tirelessly on their work over this past Summer, and I look forward to seeing how they and their projects continue to evolve. Also a big thanks to Clarkson Honors for supporting some of our undergrads in Summer research!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
