The 31st CSU Annual Biotechnology Symposium, sponsored by CSUPERB, on January 3-5, 2019 in Orange County, CA brought together hundreds of faculty and student researchers from all over California. During the poster session at the symposium, SSU EE students James Normantas, Logan Lawrence, and Brandon Russell presented their research. Students’ works were very well received and they had the opportunity to discuss their projects with many participants. Join us to congratulate these students!
"The CSUPERB Biotechnology Symposium was a great experience. The poster sessions provided a chance to meet students in other majors and see what they have accomplished. I met bachelors and masters students, professors, and other industry professionals and learned a great deal from them. There was a networking event where students were able to speak one-on-one with experienced professionals including venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and scientists. They were able to provide valuable information to undergraduate students about the professional world and different career paths. Anyone who has the opportunity should attend this symposium." noted Brandon Russell, a senior EE student. "Attending the CSUPERB conference is a great opportunity for EE students. You get to meet a lot of people with a background focused on biotech that have done very interesting projects. Biotech is a possible path for EE majors, and they have sessions where they discuss how to get a job in bio-tech. They also have sessions to explain a lot about graduate school, including how to apply and what to do once you're accepted. Another important aspect of the conference is presenting your project. It gives you an opportunity to learn to discuss your EE project with people who know nothing about EE. This is a very valuable skill for any field you decide to work in", noted James Normantas a Senior EE student.
