Larock Undergraduate Research Conference

The 2024 Larock Undergraduate Research Conference was held at UC Davis on May 18, 2024. Four undergraduates from the group presented their research in the Physical/Analytical Chemistry session:

  • Agnes Pek, Chisom A. Dim, Yi Hsin, Madison R. Smith, Kyle N. Crabtree, “Investigating the Intramolecular Dynamics of Vinyl-substituted Nitrogen Heterocycles Using Rotational Spectroscopy”
  • Yi Hsin, Chisom A. Dim, Agnes Pek, Madison Smith, Kyle N. Crabtree, “Rotational Spectroscopy of Cyclic Amides”
  • Cedric Centers, Huanyu Ren, Junwei He, Jonathan Fong, Adam Culick, Kyle N, Crabtree, “Pressure Profiling of Argon and Helium de Laval Nozzles for use in Astrochemical Molecular Kinetics Experiments”
  • Madison R. Smith, Chisom A. Dim, Yi Hsin, Agnes Pek, Kyle N. Crabtree, “Rotational Spectroscopy of N-Acetyl-2-Pyrrolidone and Acetylcaprolactam: Investigation of Internal Motions.

Wendy (Yi) and Cedric are both graduating at the end of the quarter, so this conference represents their capstone research presentation!
