2022 Student Research Days

The 2022 Undergraduate and Graduate Student Poster Session, a celebration highlighting undergraduate and graduate student research and creative activity, was held on April 11, 2022 as part of the campus-wide 2022 UNL Student Research Days. The purpose of this yearly event is to give students the opportunity to showcase their research or creative activity; to communicate their results to other students, faculty and staff; and to learn about other areas of research and creative activity. Twelve posters related to Energy Center projects were exhibited at the event. Three of those posters were presented by undergraduates. Roman Estrada from the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD) congratulated the students. (NPPD is a collaborator with the Energy Center). Student Research Days is sponsored by the Office of Research and Economic Development and the Office of Graduate Studies.
