More than 70 students from U.S. universities will feature their summer research with WSU faculty mentors at a poster session Tuesday, Aug. 2. Free and open to the public, the symposium runs from 10 a.m. through 1 p.m. in the Smith CUE Atrium mid-campus. Refreshments will be served!
Twelve WSU programs—directed by professors in CEA, CVM, CAS, CAHNRS, CP at Pullman, Spokane, and Vancouver—received applications from students across the nation in spring. Successful applicants arrived on the three campuses in early June to spend roughly 10 weeks contributing to defined, ongoing research projects funded by National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) projects, the USDA, and other sources. https://summerresearch.wsu.edu/research-opportunities/
The students are from as near as the University of Idaho and Boise State to as far away as Brown, Columbia, New Mexico State, and Alabama universities. Their projects cover a wide range of subjects, as evidenced by these poster titles:
- “Regional equations for streams in forested watersheds in the Pacific Northwest”
- “The night-out task: everyday functioning assessment of older adults and younger adults”
- “The effect of starvation on bacterial survivability in sand and evolution of biofilms”
- “Finite difference time domain simulation of time-reversal division multiple access for wireless networks on chip”
- “A filter bank of high-Q bandpass filters to find Fourier series coefficients for TRDMA system”
Hosting the symposium will be the WSU Office of Undergraduate Research, directed by Shelley Pressley.
