Another successful Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference has come and gone. This annual conference brings together about 150 of the top undergraduate physics students from across Canada to present summer research, meet peers, network, and much more. The 2017 version took place at Carleton University in Ottawa. McMaster was well represented at the conference. As usual, all McMaster attendees gave incredible presentations and made our school proud. 6 students in particular were able to come away with medals for top talks in their respective presentation categories:

Christian DiMaria – 1st Place, Applied & Engineering Physics

Cissy Suen – 1st Place, Quantum & Solid State Physics

Dana Murdoch – 3rd Place, Astrophysics & Cosmology
