Senior Abby Brown and junior Meena Bansal recently presented the results of their research project at Miami's Undergraduate Research Forum held at the Oxford campus on April 26, 2017. Abby and Meena developed a new organic chemistry lab "Fischer Esterification Utilizing Benchtop NMR" under the guidance of faculty members, Dr. Janet Marshall and Mr. Howard Vail. Organic chemistry students on the Middletown campus recently ran this experiment, where each student synthesized an "unknown" ester and used picoSpin NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) to determine the structure of his/her product.
