The College of Engineering and Physical Science Undergraduate Poster Session (CUPS) is an annual event celebrating undergraduate research at the University of Guelph. This year’s event features 20 posters, with the abstracts provided below.

The posters are judged by graduate student volunteers from various units within the college. The goal of this event is to provide our undergraduate students with an opportunity to gain experience presenting science to the public. Please join us on Tuesday, August 15th from 1:30 – 3:30 PM in the Summerlee Science Complex Atrium to check out the hard work and talent of our summer research students.

Thank you to all of our student presenters and judges for participating in the 2023 CEPS Undergraduate Poster Session!
