Two students traveled with Scott LaBrake (Senior Lecturer of Physics) and Michael Vineyard (Frank and Marie Louise Bailey Professor of Physics) to present posters at the Fall 2017 Meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society in Pittsburgh, PA, on October 25-28, 2017. Sajju Chalise (’19) presented a poster titled “Proton Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE) Analysis to Measure Trace Metals in Soil Along the East River in Queens, New York.” Skye Conlan (’18) presented a poster titled “PIXE Analysis of Artificial Turf.” Zachary Porat (’20) was a coauthor on both posters.
