Thirty-two IMS students joined the 2026 Poster Session. Each year IMS hosts a poster session that coordinates with the annual Industrial Affiliates Program. The event allows scientists from local industry to investigate research by IMS graduate students and also allows students to speak with each other to dive into the matrix of research found in the IMS labs.
