New Summer HIPPO Student!
The Burns Research Lab welcomes Ms. Aditi Gurudutt as a summer researcher. Aditi is a participant in the Horizon-broadening Isotope Production Pipeline Opportunities (HIPPO) collaboration, which is sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Isotope Program.
Ms. Gurudutt is a rising junior at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working towards a degree in Chemical Engineering. The HIPPO program runs for 9 weeks from the first week in June till the first week of August and supports 13 undergraduate and 5 graduate students from around the country to conduct cutting-edge research across many different disciplines of isotope science.
UAB HIPPO Campus 2023
The UAB HIPPO Campus was held this week in a joint effort between the Lapi Lab and the Burns Lab. The UAB HIPPO Campus consisted of a week-long intensive, running from June 5th–9th, where 5 students from around the country came to UAB to be trained in nuclear science and radiochemistry, with a focus on isotope production at UAB.
