In the image slideshow above, Damoy Roberts & Thomas Kent presented at the 2016 Life Sciences of South Florida Undergraduate STEM Research Symposium. Dr. Russell Betts & Dr. David C. Perdian directed Damoy’s research: “A Study of Crystal Movement in Solvents during the Recrystallization Process.” Thomas’ research, “Determination of Sulfate Concentration in Aqueous Solutions via Cu 2+ Absorption by UV-VIS Spectrophotometry“, was directed by Dr. David C. Perdian.
