Carthage students selected to participate in SURE work with a faculty mentor on a new or developing line of research. SURE research activities are expected to contribute in a meaningful way to the education of the student and to the research agenda of the faculty mentor.

In past years, SURE participants have:

• Studied computational fluid dynamics modeling of an inertial particle separator in microgravity
• Designed and built biofilm detectors
• Developed adaptive optics demonstrations for museum installations
• Developed low-cost seismic monitoring stations
• Studied the effects of oxytocin on object recognition tasks in rats and its relation to autism
• Used GIS to find high priority neighborhoods for lead-free efforts

“The SURE Program was an incredible experience that gave me insights into research. I now plan on pursuing research as a part of my career and am continuing to participate in the same research I did during the SURE Program.”
