SOUTH CAROLINA: Student wins poster award at national meeting

Clemson University

Eric Miller, Clemson University undergraduate student and undergraduate researcher, won the Third Place Poster Award at the Undergraduate Research in Polymer Science Symposium at the 2021 Spring National American Chemical Society meeting (Miller, E., Palkar, V., Kuksenok, O., Mesoscale modeling of nanogel degradation: effect of crosslink density and particle size). The award is sponsored by the POLY/PMSE MACRO committee. Together with graduate student Vaibhav Palkar in Dr. Olga Kuksenok research group, Eric utilized mesoscale simulations to model degradation in polymer systems. Eric's research was supported by the NSF MADE in SC Track-1 Project.
