At the final presentation and poster session for the Virginia Microelectronic Consortium (VMEC) Summer Scholars Program, UVa's Summer Scholar, Angelica Sunga, won the VMEC Gold Scholar award for best presentation and poster of her work “Suppressing Antenna Substrate Modes Through Substrate Etchingâ€. Angelica is an outstanding undergraduate from VCU who has been working in Prof. Steven Bowers' group for the summer. Her work involves the full gamut from simulation and modeling, to getting into the clean room to etch antenna substrates, to 100 GHz antenna measurements. The VMEC Summer Scholars program gives undergrads at Virginia universities aspiring to do research the opportunity to  work with mentors at Virginia companies or universities other than their home institution for a 13 week program each summer. This summer, there were 15 VMEC Summer Scholars, with the top 4 summer projects being honored with the Gold Scholar Award. Applications for next year's program will be due later this fall, athttp://vmec-scholars.org/index.htm.
