Researchers Recognized for Best Posters at KNI20 Symposium
On March 8, 2024 the Kavli Nanoscience Institute celebrated its twentieth anniversary with an all-day symposium featuring luminaries in battery technology, quantum computing, semiconductor manufacturing, and energy science. We closed the event with a special poster session and reception, featuring the work of many KNI researchers. A contest for Best Poster and People's Choice was held, and six presenters were selected to receive cash prizes. The winners were:
Emily Hwang
Emily Hwang is a graduate student in Materials Science and a researcher in Scott Cushing's lab. Emily won first place for her poster entitled, "UV-NIR Frequency Conversion with Lithium Niobate Nanophotonic Waveguides for On-chip Spectroscopy" (poster PDF).
Hanxun Jin
Hanxun Jin is a postdoctoral researcher in Julia Greer's lab in the division of Engineering and Applied Science. Hanxun received second place for Best Poster for his poster entitled, "Stochastic Nano-architected Metals with Ultra-high Energy Absorption" (poster PDF).
Omid Aligholamioskooee (Golami)
