The University of Alabama, Class of 2019
From Northport, AL
Nearly 500 students at The University of Alabama highlighted their research and creative projects during the Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Conference on March 27. Among them was Joseph Daidone of Northport, AL, whose presentation was titled "Streamflow Reconstruction Study" in the Engineering, Transportation and Energy category.
The 12th annual conference is hosted by UA's Office for Undergraduate Research and the Office for Research and Economic Development.
Poster presentations are grouped by research areas -- instead of by academic colleges or departments -- to align with national trends of using interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving.
The conference spurs interest in research among undergraduate students and helps students polish their communication skills, said Dr. Kim Bissell, director of the Office for Undergraduate Research.
"We have got some pretty phenomenal students who are truly doing great things," she said.
