First-year PhD students Sam Chen (CBE) and Will Presson (MSE) successfully passed their qualifying exams. Sam and Will demonstrated mastery of their first-year coursework and promise as strong researchers. Sam presented his work on characterizing linear ethylene-vinyl alcohol as a potential barrier layer for multilayer packaging. Will presented his work on precise fluorine-free polymer electrolytes for anion exchange membrane applications. We are looking forward to seeing them progress during their PhD studies.
Congratulations to our 1st year PhD students, Sam Chen and Will Presson, on passing their qualifying exams!
