Caridad Estrada
Our DOE Fellow Caridad Estrada received first place award for an oral presentation at the Annual Research Symposium hosted by MARC U*STAR Program. During the symposia, competitively selected students from institutions such as FIU, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania were able to highlight their scientific work through student presentations. Caridad gave an oral presentation titled “Sustainable Sorbent Technology for Mercury Remediation in Freshwater Aquatic Systems” based on the research she is performing to evaluate low-cost sorbent media for mercury removal from a contaminated freshwater stream whose composition mimics that of the East Fork Poplar Creek (EFPC) ecosystem at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
