Summer Research 2007
35 students worked with 9 UST Chemistry faculty members over the summer months of 2007. Many of these projects were continuations of projects begun during the spring semester, and most of them were continued into the following academic year. Titles and authors of posters presented at the departments summer-ending poster session are listed below. Many of these projects also resulted in presentations at regional, national, and international conferences, and in peer reviewed articles in the literature.
