Student publications

We at the PCRS section aim to help students grow into excellent scientists and brilliant thinkers; whether they choose academia as a career path or not. In order to recognize excellent student work and contributions to the scientific community, we want to make this visible for everyone to see when students are going beyond the normal boundaries of their studies. Here at PCRS students can involve themselves in larger research projects or come up with their own idea.

Below you can find a list of scientific publications or conference contributions that have one or more students as co-authors or leading-author(s). Student names are highlighted in bold print.

Are you a student at UT interested in PCRS research? Do you want to know more about academia and want to join a group of likeminded others? Well, we got an opportunity for you! Please check out the informal "Research Enthusiasts" Club and/or contact Max.
