Lal Carbon Center PhD student Munna earned top recognition this year through impressive performances at two major Ohio State University academic events.
Munna was named the College-Level Winner (CFAES) in the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition, a showcase that challenges graduate students to present the core of his research in a clear and compelling three‑minute format. The achievement highlights Munna’s ability to communicate complex scientific work to broad audiences, a skill increasingly essential in today’s research landscape.
In addition to success at 3MT, Munna also presented research at the 40th Edward F. Hayes Advanced Research Forum, one of Ohio State’s premier platforms for interdisciplinary scholarly work. Standing alongside a detailed research poster, Munna shared current findings with faculty, peers, and judges from across the university.
Together, these accomplishments reflect the quality of Munna’s scholarship, the strength of CFAES graduate training, and the college’s commitment to developing researchers who excel both in scientific inquiry and public communication.
As Munna continues advancing his doctoral research, these recognitions mark meaningful milestones in a promising academic career.
