The competition is open to students who are pursuing a major or minor in a program in the department (Computer Science, Mathematics, Data Science, Pre-Engineering, Data Analytics, or Cybersecurity) and present a poster on their research at the Ignatian Scholarship Day.
It was quite a competition this year and made for a difficult decision for the judges. This year’s winners are
First ($100 Amazon gift card) – Grace Baumgartner, “Computational Chemistry Study of Alkaline-Earth Monoamides”
Second ($50 Amazon gift card) – Julie Heard, “Determining the Transverse Momentum Broadening of Quarks to Study Subatomic Proton Structure”
Third ($25 Amazon gift card) – Hope Gryglewicz, “Group Theory in Chemistry”
Thanks go out to the judges
– Dr. Nathan Fox (Mathematics)
– Dr. Justin DelVecchio (Cybersecurity/Computer Science)
– Dr. Phillip Sheridan (Chemistry/Biochemistry)
– Heather Campbell (Director of the Canisius Center for Analytics and Data Ecosystems)
To all of the ISD presenters: keep up the good work of original research.
The real prize is finding something new out there – Vera Rubin, astronomer and discoverer of dark matter.
