This summer, Tapia attended a three-day cyclic voltammetry bootcamp as the youngest attendee and one of only two undergraduates.
“Marcos was one of the most engaged researchers,” says UNC Professor Jillian L. Dempsey, who ran the bootcamp. “He asked deep, probing questions about electrochemistry and the associated theory, a true testament to how deeply engaged he is with his own research project.”
