Come watch SU’s top grad student research communicators square off in the finals of the 11th annual Three-Minute Thesis® competition. Contestants from research programs all around campus have 180 seconds to convey the nature, significance, and inherent interest of their research to non-specialists, using only one static projected image (i.e., slide). A multidisciplinary panel of judges determines the winner, while the audience awards the “Peoples Choice.”’ The finalists are:
Jayda Felder, Social Psychology
Bramsh Khan, Social Science
Nimisha Krishnan, Physics
Qingyang Liu, Human Development and Family Science
Abby Long, Composition and Cultural Rhetoric
Ratnakshi Mandal, Chemical Engineering
Sarah Nahar, Religion
Matthew O’Leary, Anthropology
Mary Pagan, Sociology
Paul Sagoe, Bioengineering
Nghia Thai, Bioengineering
