The 26^th Annual Meeting of the NASA-Missouri Space Grant Consortium (April 21-22, 2017):

A team of 4 undergraduate students (Matt Yeager, Chris Robledo, Brittany Porter, and Nick Delamora) presented their research works on the applications of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality for Carbon Nanostructures.

Jesse Underwood presented his research work in modeling the albite crystalline and melt structures. The atomistic modeling work was co-advised by Dr. Mayanovic and Dr. Sakidja.
