Marian University Student Tom Sublett Will Present Original Research in Chemistry and Sustainability on April 19, 2011

INDIANAPOLIS, IN (04/18/2011)(readMedia)-- Eleven Marian University students will present their original research on Tuesday, April 19, 2010 in the Grand Drawing Room of Stokely Mansion on campus. The research projects were conducted as a part of the students' coursework or internship; nearly all of the presentations satisfy some research requirement in CHE 360 / 380 / 498. Opportunities for students to do original research at the undergraduate level are rare; this is a hallmark of Marian University's science curriculum.

Tom Sublett, a junior majoring in pre-medical studies from Lebanon, Indiana, will present research entitled Hydrogen Storage Materials for the Future: Synthesis and Dehydrogenation Studies of Ammonia Borane in conjunction with Dr. Roderick M. Macrae.
