Student Oral Presentation Winners:

• Stephen Tatarchuk, graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, won 1st place in Section 1 for a presentation on Insight into Catalyst Activity for the Electrooxidation of Ammonia from Linear Scaling Relations and Microkinetic Modeling.

• Joshua van der Zalm, graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, won 2nd place in Section 2 for a presentation on Advancing Material Characterization with Integrated Optical Spectroscopy and Scanning Photoelectrochemical Microscopy.

• Negar Sabouhania, graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, won 1st place in Section 3 for a presentation on Synthesis of Bismuth Nanodendrites Catalyst for Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction.

• Cameron McGuire, graduate student in the Department of Physics, won 2nd place in Section 4 for a presentation on Electrochemical and in situ X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic Studies of Hydrogen Uptake at Palladium-Graphene Oxide Nanocomposite.

Student Poster Winners:

• Carlos Ramirez, graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, won 2nd place for a poster on Graphene-Oxide Based Electrochemical Sensor for the Detection of Temozolomide.

• Jonathan Quintal, graduate student in the Department of Chemistry, won 3rd place for a poster on Phase and Morphology Engineering of TiO2 Photocatalysts for Water Splitting.

Congratulations to our students for their hard work and performance!
