Several undergraduate research groups from CSUCI presented
their research this year at the 251st ACS meeting in San Diego. Research
projects conducted at the school focus on a variety of topics ranging from environmental
chemistry, organic synthesis, analytical studies, materials science and
instrumentation.
The American Chemical Society national meetings are the
largest scientific conferences in the world. Besides serving as a platform to
present their own scientific work, attending the meetings represents a chance
for students to develop their professional network. Many young students make
connections at ACS meetings that launch their scientific careers into industry
or graduate school.
