Congratulations to Evelyn Pae who presented at the RPI 13th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium last month and was awarded first place for best oral presentation in the Physical Sciences category! Her work was entitled “Effects of watershed size, hydrology, and burn extent on the composition of dissolved organic matter in fire-affected streams.”
Evelyn has spent the last year in the Wagner lab analyzing samples collected from fire-affected streams in coastal California. Before that, she published a zine entitled Molecular Tales of Marine Dissolved Organic Matter, an illustrated story that follows four molecules, who tell tales about their journey to the ocean.
We wish Evelyn the best of luck as she graduates from RPI this spring and transitions to a graduate student position at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry!
