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 CECS recipients are listed below:
- Tangila Islam Tanni, Computer Science – “GenAI at Work: Sharing Professional Content Against Better Judgment”
Advisor: Yan Solihin
- Joseph Ciurca, Biomedical Engineering – “Fluid Dynamics Modeling for the Interpretation of Organ-on-a-Chip Systems”
Advisor: James Hickman
- Md Roxy Islam, Materials Science and Engineering – “A New Strategy From a Sustainable Source: Membrane Capacitors From Clays”
Advisor: Kausik Mukhopadhyay
- Narun Naher, Computer Science – “Interpretable Models for Near-Real-Time Prediction of Team Cognitive Workload in Complex Sociotechnical Environments Using Behavioral and Physiological Data”
