STUDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM<br />

underscored by the generosity and leadership of<br />
alumnus Dr. David Go, the Rooney Family Associ<strong>at</strong>e<br />

Mechanical Engineering and Chemical and Biomolecular<br />
Engineering <strong>at</strong> the University of Notre<br />
Dame, and faculty member Lynda Seasly, almost 120<br />
students have spent countless hours after school<br />
delving into cutting edge research. In the past two<br />
years, two students have qualified for the Intern<strong>at</strong>ional<br />
Science Fair, and four students qualified for<br />
Indiana St<strong>at</strong>e Science Fair where numerous awards<br />

the connection between the human eye and an<br />
individual’s security risks, to decontamin<strong>at</strong>ion of<br />
heavy metals in w<strong>at</strong>er, and the modeling of malaria<br />
reduction, the research culmin<strong>at</strong>es in regional<br />
