Carleton University’s Department of Chemistry, Food Science and Nanoscience hosted its annual Undergraduate Research Day on April 9th, 2025. Research Day is a celebration of the research of the undergraduate students in both Chemistry and Food Science.
Undergraduate students participating in CHEM 4908, FOOD 4907 and FOOD 4908 shared their research to colleagues and faculty with an oral poster presentation.
Thank you to all of the students for sharing your innovate research and thank you to our volunteers for helping celebrate with us.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
