    Research consortium leads to opportunities for Kennesaw State students

    In March of this year, ºÚÁÏÍø joined the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, a consortium of more than 170 universities that collaborate on research initiatives, share resources, and help place students in federal research opportunities at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Junior chemistry major Miriam Raggs is spending this summer conducting research at Oak Ridge, through the lab’s Research Student Internship (RSI) program, thanks in part to this association but also thanks to her research mentor, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Madalynn Marshall.

    Mechatronics engineering student uses AI-powered system to keep waterways clean

    It is estimated that up to 23 million metric tons of plastic enter waterways each year, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. While harmful materials continue to plague governments around the world, a ºÚÁÏÍø student is developing an artificial intelligence-powered system to detect litter before it reaches the ocean. Mechatronics engineering student Saam Grami is creating a system that detects, classifies, and tracks floating litter in rivers.

  • Lilianna Kocai

    Chemistry students engage in research through KSU lab's NSF C-CAS affiliation

    Like many college students, ºÚÁÏÍø senior Lilianna Kocai and junior Genevieve Insalaca have spent their summer surrounded by a buzzing cohort of friends – without leaving campus. The two chemistry students have spent the summer synthesizing fluorescent compounds and running computer-assisted simulations in the laboratory of KSU Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry Carl Saint-Louis. Their work is part of an innovative program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) that involves computer-assisted programming as another method of experimentation.
