The Volen National Center for Complex Systems Poster Session

The Volen Retreat features an opportunity for all Volen-affiliated faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students to present a poster detailing their research. This is a forum for members of the community to engage with their fellow scientists and exchange ideas. The face-to-face format of a poster session allows for direct and detailed discussion of data and techniques. This year, 23 postdoctoral fellows and students presented posters at the Volen Retreat. The presenters and titles are as follows:
