Student Research Week is an annual university event that allows students of all majors to showcase a particular project from their area of study. More than 700 students participated this year, including over 120 undergraduate and graduate students from the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Students presented their research through several sessions throughout the week in the Pegasus Ballroom. The best presentations were recognized with awards. The MSE recipients are listed below:
- Joseph Ciurca, Biomedical Engineering – “Fluid Dynamics Modeling for the Interpretation of Organ-on-a-Chip Systems”
Advisor: James Hickman - Leaford Henderson, Materials Science and Engineering – “MnO2 cathode nanocomposite and electrolyte engineering for high-performance zinc ion batteries”
Advisor: Jayan Thomas - Md Roxy Islam, Materials Science and Engineering – “A New Strategy From a Sustainable Source: Membrane Capacitors From Clays”
Advisor: Kausik Mukhopadhyay
In addition to the student poster winners, materials science and engineering doctoral student Pritha Sarkar won second place at the Impact of Research Competition, with allowed students five minutes to pitch their research to a panel of judges. She was the only student from the College of Engineering and Computer Science to place in the contest
