STEMM Students Impress with Presentations

Hawken flexed its brain power as Upper School students presented their projects before a panel of judges at the fourth annual Bob Maciunas STEMM Research Symposium. Dr. Christopher Wilson, who teaches pediatric neurology at the Case School of Medicine, was the keynote speaker.

Kathleen Graham '13 took first place with her project entitled “Green synthesis of a disulfide linker for targeted drug delivery.” Second place was earned by Aric Floyd '14 who researched “Synthesis of Phase-Controlled Iron Oxide Nanoparticle via Continuous, Atmospheric Pressure Microplasma. Hunter Moeller '13 placed third with “The effect of film thickness and thermal annealing on the morphology of P3HT PCBM films for use in Organic Photovoltaic Cells.”  Max Mattioli '13 and Sophie Kerman '14 earned honorable mentions.

Hawken's STEMM program is a program of guided research in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine. Click here for a symposium program that includes abstracts of all student projects.
