Dr. Cheryl Campo and students at the ACS meeting. From left to right are Dr. Campo, Jeremy Wignall, Andy Wolf (Chemistry-senior, presented work from his participation in a summer Research Experience for Undergraduate program at the University of Cincinnati), Scott Simpson, and Terry Ng. Three of the students--Ng, Simpson, and Wignall-- will be sharing their work at the 10th annual Student Research and Creativity Exposition on campus April 24. |
Several SUNY Fredonia students participated in the 235th American Chemical Society National Meeting and Exposition in New Orleans recently. Of the more than 9,000 scholarly presentations scheduled during the gathering, several detailed the research of 12 students from SUNY Fredonia.
Dr. Cheryl Campo, chemistry professor, accompanied the students and presented a poster at the Chemical Education Division session on the Campo Research Group's education research. The same poster was selected to be shown at the Sci-Mix session, which was interdisciplinary.
The Fredonia presenters and their research are listed below:
- Terry Ng, a molecular genetics/medical technology double major, presented a poster on her work, entitled, "Inorganic/Organic particle-stabilized Pickering emulsions." She is a junior from Syosset, N.Y.
- Scott Simpson, a chemistry sophomore from Allegany, N.Y., presented his poster, "Effects of chain length on functionalized solid particle-stabilized diethoxydimethylsilane in water emulsions."
- Jeremy Wignall, chemistry junior from Weedsport, N.Y., presented his poster, "Preparation of well-ordered poly(methyl methacrylate) photonic crystals on liquid substrates."
- Dr. Campo presented the poster, "Effects of authentic assessment on student engagement levels in an undergraduate chemistry laboratory setting." Student co-authors of this paper were: Vince Armella (now an alumnus, Mr. Armella was formerly a curriculum and instruction graduate student, and a geology undergraduate), Anne Regan (a graduate student in interdisciplinary studies), Nicole Hall (senior in childhood education), Katie Boyle (sophomore in geology), Katie Fritzinger (junior in biology), Alana Hens (junior in biology), Jess Kreinsen (junior in biology), Ben Montague (senior in chemistry), and Kyle O'Connor (junior in biochemistry).
