NCESR Projects - 2023 Student Research Days Poster Winners

The UNL offices of Undergraduate Research, Graduate Studies, and Research and Economic Development hosted poster sessions March 28-29, 2023, at the Student Research Days. Nearly 130 graduate students and 190 undergraduate students participated in the event.

The poster sessions give students the opportunity to showcase their research or creative work; to communicate their results; and to learn about other areas of research and creative activities. Twenty posters represented research projects funded by the NCESR and were presented by three undergraduate students, 18 graduate students and one postdoc. The competition involved more than 40 faculty and postdoc reviewers who rated student presentations on the basis of their research scholarship and presentation skills.

Congratulations to Arjun Subedi, a graduate student working with Dr. Xia Hong, Dr. Takashi Komesu, Dr. Xiaoshan Xu & Dr. Peter Dowben in Physics and Astronomy, who presented a poster, titled, "A model for electronic phase transition of CoFe2O4 and NiCo2O4 thin film surfaces: Temperature dependent X-ray photoemission studies of CoFe2O4 and NiCo2O4 thin films." Arjun received a $400 award/travel grant to present his research at a regional or national conference or to support other research costs.

Congratulations to Alyssa Simpson, an undergraduate student working with Dr. Xia Hong with Physics and Astronomy, who presented a poster, titled, “Free-standing PbZr0.2Ti0.8O3 top-gated two-dimensional MoS2 photovotaics.” Alyssa received a $250 award from the College of Arts and Sciences.
