Additionally, physics graduate student Alexander Egarievwe won 1st place in the poster session in the same category for a submission focusing on "X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman Spectroscopy Characterization of Dehydration of Calcium Sulfate Dihydrate and Its Hemihydrate."  The project was produced by Alexander Egarievwe, and Drs. Mebougna Drabo, Matthew Edwards, Aschalew Kassu, and Stephen Egarievwe.

Finally, Dr. Matthew E. Edwards (above) received the "Fellow of The Alabama Academy of Science" award for his service to science, student success and for his leadership.
