Thomas Ugras wins the 2024 CHESS Poster Prize!
Thomas Ugras wins the 2024 Poster Prize for Best Scientific Poster at the 2024 CHESS User Meeting, held at CHESS in June. His poster highlighted work performed at the CHESS synchrotron to elucidate the underpinnings of chirality in his Magic Size Nanocluster assemblies. Tom’s PhD work is on investigating how achiral building blocks of inorganic nanoclusters, can be processed to form chiroptic films. This makes three poster prizes that Thomas has won!
