Nelsy Badia Presents Poster at SUNY Faculty Senate Plenary Meeting

The SUNY Faculty Senate held its winter plenary meeting on the campus of Stony Brook University January 21-23, 2016. During the Friday reception at the Simon’s Center, Nelsy Badia, a junior in the civil engineering program, presented her poster “The Effects of Corrosion and Corrosion Products on the Frictional Behavior of Slip-critical Eye-bars.” Nelsy's poster was only one of eight posters presented at the reception.  Her poster was also the only engineering poster presented and one of four representing undergraduate research.

Nelsy has been working with Dr. Ryan Giles for a year as an undergraduate researcher, including summer 2015 where she participated in the Explorations in STEM program sponsored by PSEG. This program provides students with a stipend and housing to perform summer research with a faculty member at the start of their undergraduate career.  Read more here.
