The annual Graduate Student Symposium (GSS) is a student-organized event that provides an opportunity to the graduate students from the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (and associated programs) at the University of Pennsylvania to present their findings to the academic community and interested representatives from industry, national labs, and academia. It provides a great opportunity for students to network and discuss research topics of interest. Students present talks and posters throughout the day on a variety of topics from the fields of catalysis, bioengineering, soft matter, computation, composite materials, and combinations of the above and much more! In the past, the event has drawn representatives from companies such as Dow, Merck, ExxonMobil, L’Oreal and Air Products. 

In 2023, the symposium was a great success, highlighting 10+ oral and 25+ poster presentations by our students to 100+ attendees. We appreciate your attendance and participation!

GSS is held entirely in-person, and the schedule can be found here. We are still collecting abstracts, so stayed tuned for updates to our lineup!

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us at cbegss@seas.upenn.edu. We hope to see you at the symposium! 

Cheers,
