Students showcase nanotechnology research with poster presentation | Events

Twenty-five undergraduate students who have spent the summer doing real-world nanotechnology research at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany will showcase their findings on Friday, August 12 from 1 to 3 p.m. at a public poster presentation.

The pioneering hands-on program gives students a unique opportunity to engage in innovative nanotechnology research projects as a means of supporting careers in nanoscience, nanoengineering, nanobioscience and the nanotechnology industry.

Seventeen New York State residents from the Capital Region, Hudson Valley, Mohawk Valley and the Finger Lakes are among those who participated in the program, selected from a highly competitive pool of more than 130 applicants. The students are pursuing their undergraduate degrees at a variety of colleges and universities, including CNSE, University at Albany, Brown University, University of Buffalo, Clarkson University, SUNY Geneseo, University of Maryland, Purdue University and Vassar College.
