This year, two undergraduates from MechSE won awards for their Outstanding Poster Presentations:
Arielle Pfeil, an incoming senior in mechanical engineering, in the Technology & Sustainability category, for “Characterization of Ink for 3D Printing of Bone Scaffolds.”
Haley Tholen, an incoming senior in engineering mechanics, in the Food, Plants, and Animals category, for “Hybrid Algal-Carbonate Substrates for Enhanced Coral Larvae Recruitment.”
“I am thrilled that both Arielle and Haley have received recognition for their hard work, and I am excited that they are continuing their work in my lab this summer, through REU supplements. And both of them will participate again in the ISUR program for their senior years,” said Wagoner Johnson.
Undergraduate Research Week showcases the best of undergraduate research and creative inquiry at Illinois. Students take part in workshops, special exhibits, and colloquia sponsored by individual departments and programs.
