Amal Narayanan, a Ph.D. candidate in polymer science, won the 2021 Alan Gent Distinguished Student Paper Award for the best presentation at this year’s Adhesion Society 44th Annual Meeting held virtually from February 22-25. Amal is advised by Dr. Abraham Joy, Assistant Director and Professor in the School of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering.
“It is an honor to receive the award in the name of Prof. Alan Gent since the foundations of my research are Prof. Gent’s contributions to the science of adhesion," said Narayanan.
