Student Presents Research at Regional ACS Meeting
Lauren Cichon

 

 

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.

 
Student Learning Outcomes

1.) Students will score at the 40th percentile or higher on the Chemistry Major Field Test.

2.) Students will propose and carry out a chemical research project.

3.) Students will communicate chemical concepts appropriately to a variety of audiences.
