Board 111: A Preliminary Phosphate Study of Selected Sites Along the Shanghai Tributary of the Yangtze River; Undergraduate International Student’s Freshman Project in an Interconnected World (Student Poster-Paper)

Abstract

Junyi Ying (Eric), a senior high school student in Shanghai, China, spent two weeks actively engaged in a research project involving the colorimetric analysis of phosphates in designated locations along the Shanghai tributary of the Yangtze River. Ying is a student at Shanghai Guanghua College. He is an excellent student seeking to pursue a career in chemistry at a major US University commencing the 2018-2019 academic year.He has received several outstanding accommodations for his work in honors chemistry at Shanghai Guanghua College. Mr. Cyrus SafaiCyrus is an undergraduate student majoring in Mechanical Engineering at Salt Lake Community College (SLCC). Cyrus has teamed up and worked with a group of four other students from Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Computer engineering departments on the Vertical, Hydroponic, Smart Garden With Global and Universal (Space) Applications. He has worked at the SLCC Slick Science Summer Camp for the past 7 years. Mr. Junior onyeagbaJunior Onyeagba, a former student at Salt Lake Community College, who is currently attending the University of Utah with the purpose of attaining a Bachelor's degree in Biology with cell and molecular emphasis. Junior has worked with phosphate over a year now with the intention of finding a more effective way to measure the concentration of phosphate in waterbodies using Flow Injection Analysis.Dr. Nick M. Safai, Salt Lake Community College Dr. Nick M. Safai has been an ASEE officer and member for the past 24 years. He has been the six-time elected as the Program Chair of the ASEE International Division for approximately the past 13 years. Nick has had a major role in development and expansion of the division.
