2010 Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

Monday, June 21 — 7:00-8:30 p.m.

Executive Room, Washington Court Hotel

The annual Fellows' Poster Session affords program review attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about the research being supported by the DOE NNSA SSGF program. Each fellow is provided space to present his or her latest findings, and, beginning in 2010, prizes were awarded to those who engage in the best visual and oral presentations.

The 2010 poster winners were as follows:

  • Richard Kraus – Harvard University (Overall)
  • Krystle Catalli – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Honorable Mention)
  • Anna Nikiforova – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Honorable Mention)
  • Alex Zylstra – Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Novice)
