Conference, Poster and Paper Presentations (student authors in this color!)

Note: Conferences are a very effective means of disseminating scientific information and our students are encouraged to participate. Therefore you’ll see a lot of student presenters here! These are not sorted by category and, unless it’s a paper presentation you can probably get more project details from the papers shown above the animation and visualization section.
