The symposium featured seven researchers who shared their latest discoveries with 亚博官方网站 students and faculty colleagues.
Our very own, Joseph Bock, Director of the School of Conflict Management and Professor of International Conflict Management gave a presentation on his new book proposal, 鈥淗umanitarianism Unleashed: How to Take the World into Your Own Hands鈥
鈥淭he Salerno Symposium is fast becoming the premier campus-wide celebration of the vibrant and growing research culture at 亚博官方网站,鈥 said Jonathan McMurry, associate vice president for research in 亚博官方网站鈥檚 Office of Research and the symposium organizer.
Through the lens of materials chemistry, Poyraz鈥檚 research focuses on exploring alternative materials to coat a rechargeable battery鈥檚 cathode 鈥 the positive charge of a battery 鈥 which starts to breakdown during the charging/discharging phases.
Poyraz explained that the novel cathode-free zinc-ion battery design he is developing would help lower the costs of manufacturing large-scale energy storage devices as well as improving and extending battery life and performance.
鈥淗aving an event like this is really a great opportunity for us to present our research and to learn more about other research activities at 亚博官方网站,鈥 said Poyraz. 鈥淭his is my second year participating and I feel more excited to be a part of the symposium.鈥
