The annual Alumni Networking at UMich (Alum|NUM) and the Undergraduate Research and Networking at UMich (URAN|UM) event is committed to connecting undergraduate researchers to alumni in academia and industry by providing a space for scientific research presentations. Rising third-year student, Ayush Chitrakar, and rising second-year student, Antigone Wilson, were on the organizing committee for this event.

Bailey Lab members attended the Alum|NUM and URAN|UM event and presented at the Isabella & Jerome Karle Symposium last week! Invited speakers spanned both academia and industry, with Dr. Nathan Silvernail (PPG) and Professor Megan Fieser (University of Southern California) giving the keynote lectures. Additional events included visiting faculty and industry-led panels, professional development activities, graduate student presentations, and poster sessions.

Representing the Bailey Lab at the Karle Symposium were rising third-year students, Lindsay Heagle and Hanyu Zheng, and rising second-year student, Camila Gonzalez. Both Lindsay and Camila received student poster presentation awards! Rising third-years, Ayush Chitrakar and Lindsay Heagle, and rising second-year, Anusha Vajrala, were on the organizing committee for this symposium.

Congratulations and wonderful job to all participating Bailey Lab members!

Thank you to all of the student organizers, sponsors, visiting faculty and industry professionals and we look forward to participating in the Karle Symposium next year!
