The work was presented during a physical chemistry session as well as the "Sci-Mix" session, which highlighted projects from multiple disciplines.

Dr. Wiester presented research that was done with »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ students, Jason Gross and Edgar Crespo, on dye-sensitized solar cells. The students built their own solar cells in labs at »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ and determined the efficiency of the cells. They investigated ways to improve the efficiency of the cells and how to optimize conditions.
