SPUR 2022 (Summer Programme for Undergraduate Research) Winners
The Summer Programme for Undergraduate Research offers MU students the opportunity to secure a six-week paid summer research placement, across a range of disciplines. On Thursday 3 November 2022, the Experiential Learning Office were delighted to announce the winners of the Undergraduate Research Symposium. Students were presented with their prizes by Professor Eeva Leinonen during the MU Research Week Prizegiving Ceremony 2022. Of the five fabulous winners this year, we are very proud to say that two of them are Theoretical Physics students.
There were joint winners in the Faculty of Science and Engineering:
Ali Crawford, for her project on “Quantum Chemical Study of a Ni-catalysed zipper annulation” with Dr Tobias Kraemer in the Chemistry Department and Pawel Janas, for his work on a project in Theoretical Physics.
Pawel’s poster highlighted his research into Monte Carlo Models of Galaxy Clustering, under the mentorship of Prof Peter Coles.
This year, an Audience Choice voting system was also introduced.
Congratulations to Lisa Thompson the Audience Choice Winner, who conducted research into Monte Carlo Models of Galaxy Clustering with Prof Peter Coles.
A huge thank you to our colleagues in each of the faculties who were judges for this years event:
FACSP: Dr Eoghan Moloney, Dr Susan Gottlober
