Graduate Student sets trend for electronic posters

03/16/10  Portland, OR

Poster board and push pins are typical supplies one needs when presenting at a poster session. Not so for Nirzwan Bandolin, a graduate student in the Division of Environmental and Biomolecular Systems at Oregon Health & Science University. What he needed was an electrical outlet.

Bandolin was the only student presenter among the electronic posters at the 2009 Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) 20th Biennial Conference.

Using a computer and 42" flat panel display monitor, Bandolin presented research about "Long-term time series of sediment concentrations in the Columbia River." His research reflected a collaborative effort with his thesis advisor Antonio Baptista, Ph.D. and the CMOP field team members Michael Wilkin, Katie Rathmell, and Greta Klungness.
