The Canadian Undergraduate Physics Conference took place this past weekend at Trent University and once again our undergraduates did an outstanding job presenting their research.  A number of our students were singled out with awards for the best talks in their disciplines:

Quantum Condensed Matter:
Aaron Goldberg (1st)
Patrick Daley (3rd)

Astrophysics:
Michael Radica (1st)
Jasper Grond (3rd)

Engineering Physics, Applied Physics and Special Topics:
Michael Walters (3rd)

Of special note, the soft matter / biophysics category was swept by McMaster!:

1st      Christian DiMaria
2nd     Jennifer Tang
3rd      Katelyn Dixon
4th      Chris Gubbels

In addition the CUPC organizers have just announced that the top poster prize went to McMaster’s own Claire Preston.

Congratulations to all winners and participants!
