October 20, 2008 | |
Leah Teuber, master’s student in the Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, recently won first place in a poster contest sponsored by the North Carolina Water Resources Association at the Water Resources Research Institute’s (WWRI) annual conference, held Oct. 8 and 9 at North Carolina State University. The more than 20 participants in the contest hailed from universities including UNC-Asheville, UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Charlotte, Appalachian State, N.C. State, Elon, and University of South Carolina. Teuber’s research, “Mineral Deposits Behind Waterless Urinals,” was begun in Sept. 2007 with adviser Dr. Philip Singer, Daniel Okun Distinguished Professor of Environmental Engineering. “It has been very interesting work,” Teuber says, “and I’m glad to see that it was so well received at the conference.” The first-place award was $300. Winning posters will be displayed at the new WWRI offices at N.C. State University.
