On Tuesday August 23rd the Center for Materials Processing (CMP) held its End of Summer Poster Session where students whose research contains an element of materials processing competed for recognition. The event featured twenty graduate students and twenty-seven undergraduate students from various departments including Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and Nuclear Engineering (NE). The judging pool was comprised of research staff from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Institute for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, the Tickle College of Engineering Departments of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and Mechanical, Aerospace, and Biomedical Engineering (MABE), and Spark Innovation Startups.
