2025 Fellows' Poster Session & Abstracts

Fellows present their research at the annual poster session.

The annual Fellows’ Poster Session affords attendees a unique opportunity to learn more about the research supported by the DOE NNSA SSGF and DOE NNSA LRGF programs. The session is divided into two groups, and each presenting fellow is provided space to highlight their latest findings. This format allows all attendees – including fellow presenters – to ask questions of and engage in discussion with one another.

First-, second- and third-year fellows: Please closely review Krell's Guidelines for Poster Presentation document which outlines session logistics, poster size limitations, printing options and helpful tips for presenting your work.
