Rathnaweera Receives Best Poster Award from Materials Research Society

Rathnaweera MRS poster excerpt

Harshani Rathnaweera, a UGA Chemistry graduate student in the Salguero laboratory, was one of the Materials Research Society’s “Best Poster Winners” at the 2020 Virtual Fall Meeting. Her poster “2D Nanostructured Tetrasilicates with Cr(II) and Cr(II)/Fe(II) in Square-Planar Coordination” described her research on the synthesis, crystal growth, properties, and nanostructuring of metal chromium tetrasilicate materials ACrSi4O10 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) with interesting magnetic properties. Rathnaweera’s poster was one of twenty honored at this meeting.

The Materials Research Society is the professional organization for materials-focused researchers, scientists, and engineers, with an international membership of about 14,000.
