MyAV范

MyAV范 undergraduates from a wide range of courses including Psychology, Biochemistry, Urban Planning and Economics, and recent graduates, presented their research posters in an exhibition in the MyAV范 Cloisters on Wednesday 30 January.

Celebrating undergraduate research at MyAV范

A shortlist of students from across MyAV范 presented their research to the panel and all presented their research to the MyAV范 community at a lunchtime event.

Expertise from around MyAV范

The judging panel was made up of both students and staff:听
鈥⑻�听 听Sam Smidt, MyAV范 Arena Centre Director听
鈥⑻�听 听Ruth Siddall, 听

First place was awarded to Alice Pistono (pictured) who is a fourth year student studying MSci Natural Sciences in the department of Natural Sciences. She presented research on 鈥楧NA Degradation under shifting temperature conditions鈥櫶�

Second place was awarded to Ana Maria Ionescu, Delphine Tavernier, Roumyana Kotopanova, Maxim Sverjinski, Gonzalo Valdes Davila and Samuel Shannon who are second year students studying Biochemical Engineering. Their research was focused on 鈥楤ioethanol production from longline seaweed in United Kingdom鈥�

Students influencing change

Ana Maria and her team told us how exciting it was to be involved in the event:听
鈥淭aking part in competitions like this is important to us. Sharing our research on with the MyAV范 community and getting as many people involved means that we can potentially influence change.鈥�

Research-based education in action

Dr Sam Smidt said of the event,
鈥滻t is great to see research-based education in action from our undergraduates from first year through to their final year. The quality of research on display today is outstanding.鈥�
