Kudos to Prem Shah for taking home a first-place poster award at TECHCON 2024!
Prem is double-majoring in physics and computer science at ISU and presented his research on developing novel nanomaterials with tunable light absorption properties. Called copper chalcogenides, these materials have the potential to be used in supercapacitors, solar cells, and medical devices. Prem conducted his research at the University of Dayton through the U.S. National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program over the summer.
Held in Austin, Texas, TECHCON 2024 brought
together students from across the U.S. and featured "over 200 posters and presentations."

The College of Science and Engineering Dean's Excellence Fund is intended to support students in their journey through ISU. The Dean's Office is particularly interested in providing financial assistance to students who might not be able to enroll in or complete the semester because of short-term financial hardships. Students seeking such support should be in good academic standing.
If you know of a student who is in need of short-term support, please have them complete this form.
