Students from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) Research Experience for Undergraduates summer program recently displayed their research at a poster presentation at the Science Center in Cambridge. The event concluded the 10-week program, which brought in students from universities across the United States and even London to work in the labs of SEAS faculty.
Check out photos below to see some of the research conducted this summer.
