  2. Brendan ChouMedicine and Genetics • Engineering organs • “Duons” • Contreras Lab • FRI – DIY Stream Mentor • FRI – VDS Streamling • Pre-Undergrad work with Stevenson’s Lab

  3. Alex Bard Chemistry Jones lab • Much ado about Graphene • A smattering of organometallics • Some photochemistry for good measure

  4. Nikita Klimovich Majors: Physics and Electrical Engineering SJC Section: Physics/Math/CS Research: Elaine Li Lab; working on high-resolution acoustic phonon measurements

  5. Work in Elaine Li’s lab in the Physics department analyzing photonic interactions with semiconductor-based quantum dot structures. • Member of Directed Reading Program in the Math department, working with Andrew Lee. Past projects have included braid algebras, analytic proofs of theorems in algebraic topology… • Prepared talks include: Review of Sperner’s Lemma, Cold Atom Trapping with Dr. Mark Raizen, Compiler Design with Dr. Calvin Lin… • Former member of Freshman Research Initiative, in the Physics of White Dwarf stream under Dr. Winget. • Primary work was in data reduction of high-energy plasma interactions and frequency analysis of non-linear pulsations in variable white dwarfs. • Other personal interests include quantum-based logic systems, classical and quantum automata, natural language processing, computer vision… Will Waller Physics, Mathematics, & Computer Science

  8. Madeline Jiang • Sophomore Biochemistry B.S. • Section: Biology/Chemistry • Topics covered: • Dolly the sheep (Viable offspring derived from fetal and adult mammalian cells ) • Dr. De Lozanne’s topic • Listeriaemonocytogenes

  9. Research Opportunities • Discuss with group leader • How to pick a lab • Opportunities on other campuses

  10. Calendar • http://sciencejournalclub.org/calendar.html • Meetings • Events • Seminars • Register - listserv

  11. Topic Group Meeting Format Meetings will be Thursdays 5-6p Topic Papers will be emailed out beforehand • 30-40min presentation • 20-30min discussion • Professors will be invited to come discuss their research. • If there’s a paper you really want to discuss, send it to your group leader.

  12. General Meeting Format • Second Thursday of each Month (except Feb) • Announcements • Presentation of any recent breakthroughs or science news: Nobel prizes, actual cures for cancer… • Professors may discuss general science topics: publication ethics, how to read a technical paper, etc.

  13. Events • Lab Tours • Greenhouse • Astronomy • Based on interest – polls will be sent out.
