 |
Aquinas chemistry major Lauren Cichon ('13) presented a poster at the Central Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society in Indianapolis, Indiana, in June 2011.
Lauren worked with Dr. Elizabeth Jensen during the summer of 2010 on a research project to synthesize a series of new compounds displaying liquid crystalline phases. The compounds, containing transition metal ions, were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. The project was funded by a Mohler-Thompson Summer Research grant. |
