Vacation Scholarship Posters

2022

Vacation Scholars submit a poster with an overview of the research conducted and a review of their time as a Vacation Scholar. Below are selected posters from 2021's Vacation Scholars.

The Poster Prize 2021/2022 was awarded to Daniel Freidgeim for his poster titled "Modelling bird populations in two regions of a small island using two-type discrete-time population-size-dependent branching processes".
