UB CBE virtually hosted the annual graduate research symposium on Tuesday, November 10, 2020. During the poster sessions one student from each group was voted winner by a panel of judges. Congratulations to all of the students who participated and to those who won!
Poster Session Winners
During the poster session, students were split up into seven different groups: Biological Engineering I, II, & III, Nanoscale Materials and Science Engineering I, II, & III, and Molecular and Multiscale Modeling I. Each session consisted of 6-9 students presenting and a panel of judges to score each poster. The winner of each poster session received a $200 prize.
