Both projects were done with Professor of Physics Xuemei May Cheng. Associate Professor of Biology Adam Williamson was among the co-authors of Liao's research.
Carmona-Rogina and Liao also secured top spots in the poster competition at the American Physical Society Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics held at the University of Pennsylvania in January 2024.
Each student's research began when they took part in Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Summer Science Research program, and both projects were funded by the National Science Foundation. The students received funding to attend the conference from both the and Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Undergraduate Awards for Conference Travel.
