2nd Annual Summer Student Poster Symposium
12 undergraduates working in the Columbia University Plasma Physics group participated in the 2nd Annual Summer Student Poster Symposium hosted by the APAM Department at Columbia Engineering. Many of the students were part of the Summer@SEAS program, while others had already been in the Plasma Physics group for a year or more and were continuing their research.
The symposium was attended by several advisors in the plasma physics program along with research scientists, post-docs, graduate students, masters students, and other undergraduates
Kalen Richardson received the best poster prize.
