Selected students were given a
topic not necessarily of their area of interest and were asked to present a
lecture on the topic. I chose to talk on "Plastics for environment and
Sustainable Development" because the topic was both scientifically and
environmentally relevant and put forth bigger challenges.
Here is a list of other speakers.
My mentors were Prof. Munstead and Prof. R.P. Singh.
