Presenting were senior Mayrita Arrandale of North Blenheim, N.Y., who is majoring in biology and chemistry; junior Michael Boyer of Portland, Ore., computer engineering; senior Jennifer Eliseo of Burnt Hills, chemistry; junior Robert Katuska of Southborough, Mass., math and physics; and senior Evan Leibner of Bellmore, N.Y., chemistry and physics. Michael Hagerman, associate professor of chemistry, an advisor for two of the projects, traveled with the group.
