Undergrad in the Melikyan lab is awarded Edison STEM-NET fellowship

In the spring semester, Erika Shirvanian, an undergraduate research student in Dr Melikyan’s lab, was one of only 29 students in the entire CSU to be awarded a $2,500 Edison STEM-NET Student Research Fellowship Award from the CSU Chancellor Office. She presented the results of her work today, along with the other awardees, at the 2023 Edison STEM NET Research Fellowship Symposium.  Her oral presentation was titled “A Novel Molecular Scaffold for Ionic Functionalization Reactions: Diacetylenic Heptads.” Congratulations to Erika!
