The School’s annual Poster Day was held on Friday, 16 September 2022. The event was held in the UQ Centre with 20 posters on display (PDF, 2.4 MB) and 60 staff and students attending the event. In total we had 16 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.
Thanks are also to Yuxin Yang (HDR Liaison Officer for Science), Pelin Durali (HDR Liaison Officer for SMP), and SMP staff Murray Kane, and Vanessa Di Giglio for organising the day.
