SEAL student presents at polymer research meeting
SEAL Senior Researcher Megan Lanier (Sophomore--Chemistry) attended a meeting of various polymer researchers from Louisiana State University, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese
Academy of Sciences. The purpose of this meeting was to foster
collaborative research activities with these two institutions, and in
particular to establish a connection with the International School of
Polymer Education in China, a joint operation with the Max Planck
Institute. In addition to describing the SEAL program in general, Megan
described the work she has done on synthesis with DMSO as a solvent (in
collaboration with Gaylord, LLC, Bogalusa, LA) and on characterization
of polysaccharides by light scattering (in collaboration with V-LABS,
Covington, LA).
