The School’s annual Poster Day was held on Tuesday 2nd of November 2021. Due to COVID restrictions, the event was held in the UQ Centre, to allow for appropriate physical distancing. The venue worked extremely well – participants liked the space they had to move around and about 60 staff and students attended the event to view the 19 posters. In total we had 15 Physics posters and 4 Maths posters.
The School also held its annual Student Publication Award, which received excellent submissions this year, with separate presentations made for Mathematics and Physics. All participating students deserve congratulations for presenting their work in this year’s Poster Day under the challenging circumstances.
Thanks are also to Kirsten Woodward (HDR Liaison Officer for SMP), and SMP staff Christina Pedersen, Lara Atzeni and Vanessa Di Giglio for organising the day.
