Undergraduate Chemistry and Biochemistry students showcase their research at provincial conference

Undergraduate students from this year’s CHEM4000 and BCHM4000 Research Project Course travelled to Western University on Saturday April 6^th to deliver presentations about their senior thesis projects at the 52^nd Southwestern Ontario Undergraduate Chemistry Conference. The research talks from YorkU Chemistry and Biochemistry undergraduate students Juan Valencia (Wilson Lab), Arman Parham (VandenBoer Lab), Kristina Gremi (Hili Lab), Samin Tavokoli (Johnson Lab), Hannah Le (Baumgartner Lab) and Manisha Kumari (van Wijngaarden Lab) covered a broad range of modern topics in chemistry and biochemistry. With 150 undergraduate presentations from 15 different universities, we are excited to announce that Manisha received first place in the Physical, Theoretical and Computational Chemistry division and Hannah earned second place in the Materials Chemistry division.  Congratulations to all our undergraduate students on their research projects and to their research mentors who have supported them all year.
