The Volen Center for Complex Systems Poster Session
The Volen Retreat offers the opportunity for all Volen-affiliated faculty, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students to present a poster detailing their research. This is an opportunity for other 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 32 postdoctoral fellows and students presented posters at the Volen Retreat. The presenters and titles are below.
