Undergraduate Research Showcase

Welcome to Columbia University’s 9th Annual
Undergraduate Research Showcase organized by the Fu
Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science.
Faculty in the Engineering School and throughout the University
recognize the importance of research in enriching undergraduate
education and strive to make opportunities available for our ambitious
undergraduates. Similarly, our undergraduates recognize the value of
the unique experiences they gain from conducting research and
exploring the cutting-edge of science and engineering disciplines in
world-class facilities. The Undergraduate Research Showcase provides
a venue for undergraduate Columbia University students from
Engineering to share their experiences, discoveries, and enthusiasm with
their fellow peers, faculty, and administrators.
This year, we have seven students participating in the Undergraduate
Research Showcase wanting to share their experiences with
you. Projects cover a wide range of subjects that are as varied as our
student-body.
Although we cannot interact in person this year, through the tenacity of
our students, faculty, and the Engineering School, we still have the
opportunity to hear about our students’ cutting-edge research. I
encourage you to partake in the online presentations this year to learn
more about their exciting research - our students continue to do amazing
things in these difficult times!
