On September 22nd, undergraduate and graduate students and post-doctoral fellows from the Department of Chemical Engineering presented their research as part of the Annual Queen’s University and Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) Chemical Engineering Poster Session organized by the Chemical Engineering Graduate Student Association (CEGSA).
Students of Drs. Carlos Escobedo, Emily Corcoran (RMC), Ehssan Koupaie, Michael Cunningham, Brian Amsden, Cao Thang Dinh, Aris Docoslis, Kevin De France, Laura Wells, Laurece Yang, Jim McLellan, and Robin Hutchinson showcased their research in a wide variety of sub disciplines.
