Six exceptional undergraduate student researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Superior joined their peers from across the University of Wisconsin System, along with their faculty advisers, to present their research findings in the Wisconsin Capitol Rotunda in Madison as part of the 21st annual Research in the Rotunda event.
Held on April 2, the event offered students the opportunity to showcase their research on a wide range of important topics to legislators, state leaders, UW alumni, and other supporters.
The UW-Superior students who participated and their research topics included:
- Tasneem Aidabi: Mathematical Analysis of Kaleidoscopes in at Least Two Dimensions
- Taylor Powell: Stress Among Informal Caregiving Students
- Lucas Palomino Linares: Automated GIS Workflow for Agricultural Analysis
- Addison Holck: Synthesis of Eugenol Derivatives and Evaluation of Their Bioactivity
- Edomiyas Asmerom: Exploring Machine Learning Applications in Gaming for Enhanced Character Locomotion and Behavior
- Annabelle Fries: Best Practices for Mentally Preparing and Reintegration of Students Studying Abroad
Aidabi and Holck will be among nine UW-Superior students attending the National Conference on Undergraduate Research in Pittsburgh from April 7 to 9.
“Research in the Rotunda is a testament to the power of investing in undergraduate research,” said President Rothman. “We are cultivating the next generation of leaders who will drive innovation, advance knowledge, and help shape the future.”
The event was made possible through the generous support of Kwik Trip, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, BioForward, the Wisconsin Technology Council, the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, and the UW-Milwaukee Research Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Wisconsin Department of Administration and the UW-Madison Memorial Union.
