Cancer is the second highest cause of death in the U.S. per year. Cannabidiol, CBD, is a phytocannabinoid found in the plant cannabis sativa and could have properties helping against cancer.…

Pura Aer 2: Dual-Stage, Energy-Efficient, Modular Air Purifier System, Inspired by Porifera to Improve Air Quality

Applied Mechanics & Structures Fourth Award

Objective: Air pollution, especially PM 2.5, affects the health of millions of people globally, causing premature death. Outdoor air pollutants impact indoor air quality by leaking inside. T…

Round-up All The Mussels: The effects of glyphosate-based roundup in varying concentrations on the gonad BMI and cellular structure of freshwater mussels

Toxicology Fourth Award

Objectives My objective was to see if the addition of a glyphosate-based herbicide, an endocrine disruptor, could decrease the gonad mass, this would show that the mussel has been feminized.…

Synthesis and Surface Modification of Porous Silicon Quantum Dots with Enhanced Photoluminescence for Bioimaging Applications

Chemistry Fourth Award

Around 50% of cancers are only diagnosed at late stages, due to a lack of early cancer detection techniques. Quantum dots (QDs) have emerged as a new class of fluorescent labels for ultra hi…

The Detection and Treatment of Mid-Ear Infections Using Acoustic Reflectometry and Phototherapy

Microbiology (General) Fourth Award

Every year, there are 700 million cases of mid-ear infections (Otitis Media, OM) and nearly 21,000 deaths occur worldwide because of complications arising from OM (Worrall, 2007). The method…

The Effects of Ibuprofen on the growth and germination of Lactuca sativa.

Plant Biology Fourth Award
