STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擜n undergraduate and a doctoral student, both in 91麻豆天美鈥檚 Bagley College of Engineering, are being recognized for innovative thinking, cutting-edge research, and a passion for data.
Samaneh Davarzani, a doctoral student in industrial and systems engineering and native of Iran, and Brady Kruse, a junior computer science major from Saint Clair, Missouri, are winners of a recent juried poster symposium held in conjunction with Data Summit 2019 held at The Mill at 91麻豆天美. The annual summit is hosted by 91麻豆天美鈥檚 National Strategic Planning and Analysis Research Center (NSPARC).
The juried poster symposium is the newest addition to Data Summit and provided graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to submit and share their work with fellow students, scientists, academic practitioners, and business leaders.
Davarzani鈥檚 research focuses on supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques in heart disease prediction. Kruse鈥檚 research showcases the use of virtual reality as a tool to help children with autism learn about social cues.
An evaluation panel of 91麻豆天美 faculty members and researchers judged the student posters to select one graduate and one undergraduate as recipients of the 鈥淩esearch in Action鈥 award, which included a plaque and a $100 cash prize to each winner.
鈥淲e decided to feature a symposium at Data Summit 2019 as a way to highlight the hard work and research rigor of the next generation of scientists,鈥 said Shane Warren, research fellow at NSPARC and chair of the poster symposium committee. 鈥淚f you鈥檙e doing research, you want people to see it. The research that I had the pleasure of judging was very impressive, and I look forward to seeing the innovations these talented researchers will achieve in the future.鈥
