The annual Student Research Symposium organized by the New Haven Local Section of the American Chemical Society is well established as a premier opportunity for young scientists in our area to present the results of their research studies in a professional and supportive environment. As well as providing experience for researchers of the future to prepare scientific presentations and communicate their accomplishments, the event provides an opportunity for all members of the local chemistry community to learn about the outstanding research that is being carried out at institutions in our area.
Keynote speaker: Victor Batista, John Gamble Kirkwood Professor of Chemistry and member of the Yale Quantum Institute and Energy Sciences Institute. See bio page.
The symposium will involve the participation of students from academic institutions in the New Haven area, such as University of New Haven, Southern Connecticut State University, Quinnipiac University, Albertus Magnus College, and Yale University. Students will present the details of their studies that are directed toward undergraduate, master’s, and graduate degrees. There will be both oral and poster presentations. The universities and colleges mentioned above are the proud homes to many students participating in research projects sponsored by the institutions, industry and government, and typically there are presentations on a wide range of topics, including pharmaceuticals, nanotechnology, analytical chemistry, forensics, biochemistry, polymer science, green chemistry, and sustainability.
