On Tuesday August 22nd the Center for Materials Processing (CMP) held its Annual End of Summer Poster Session where students whose research contains an element of materials processing competed for recognition. The event featured nineteen graduate students and twenty undergraduate students from various departments including Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and Nuclear Engineering (NE), and Physics. The judging pool was comprised of research staff from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the Institute for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, the Physics Department, and Spark Innovation Startups.
