Research Rockstars @LehighU
Since 2005, the David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium has convened the best of the best from across Lehigh's undergraduate engineering labs to celebrate their innovations and discoveries.
This year, the annual UGRS was held at Lehigh's STEPS building on Friday, April 19, 2024.
Look back at this year's Undergraduate Research Symposium on social media via the #LehighEngineers hashtag!
Congratulations to senior Isabella Federico (1st place & People's Choice award), senior Josie Krepps (2nd place), junior Katie Atherton (3rd place), and senior Samantha Mapps (honorable mention) for their top presentations among a strong field of competitors at this year's event!
- First Place: Isabella Federico, "Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) Impact on Beta-Tubulin III and Actin Protein Expression and Morphology During C17.2 Neural Stem Cell Differentiation"
- Second Place: Josie Krepps, "Cellular Confinement in Hydrogels for Cultivated Meat"
- Third Place: Katie Atherton, "Identifying Peptides with Cell-Specific Degradation"
- Honorable Mention: Samantha Mapps, "PEGylation of 3D-Printed Polycaprolactone Scaffolds"
