The best graduate student talks and posters 2013 have been found by popular vote. As in previous years we had two clear favorites in each of the two categories. And the winners are:
Best Posters
Renee Batzloff – Paleomagnetism of the Baraga-Marquette Dyke Swarms
Li Jie – Implementation of a Hot-Deformation Process for Making Nd2Fe14B-based Permanent Magnetic Materials
Best Talks
Marwa Abdalamoneam – Atomic Moments and Polarizabilities of Ni II
Hugo Albert Ayala Sorlares – Studying Galactic Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission with the HAWC Observatory in Mexico
The Physics Department Poster Session was held on April 18, 2013, in the Fisher Atrium. The physics graduate students were held throughout the latter part of Spring Semester 2013.
Congratulations to the four winners and everyone else on their presentations!
