Undergraduate Research Forum


Description:
Research conducted by any scientist from undergraduate students to Nobel laureates must be presented in front of others in order to validate the contributions of the researcher to the field. This session is dedicated to providing opportunities for undergraduates involved in research to share their findings to AIChE professionals. Besides, this session also allows practicing chemical engineers to be engaged in early undergraduate research. This session will highlight some of the research achievements for undergraduate student.
