We congratulate Atul Asati (mentor: Dr. Perez), Xiong Liu (mentor: Dr. Huo), and Paul Stokes (mentor: Dr. Khondaker) on this accomplishment. The UCF Research Week is an annual event held to highlight student’s unique contributions to the university’s research mandate. Each annual Research Week has a defining theme and this year’s topic was the Environment: Conservation, Energy, and the Quality of Life. The topics of the students posters range from a gold nanoparticle assay that shows potential as a cancer biomarker, cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) that could be used as neuroprotective agents, and a technique of using carbon nanotubes as transistors that could be used in nanoelectric devices.
