| 1 |  | 2018 | Acuna, Alexandra D. | A genetic strategy to uncover the molecular mechanisms of bps signal-induced growth arrest in Arabidopsis | We are studying the bps signaling pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana to find the genetic basis, and molecular mechanism for plant growth arrest, and the goal of my project is to test the roles of 57 up-regulated genes in causing growth arrest. bps1 mutants arrest growth shortly after germination, and t... |
| 2 |  | Lewis, Katya Podkovyroff | An individual migration story: comparing strontium isotope analysis in enamel, ivory, and food sources from a single modern elephant | Focusing on strontium (Sr) isotope analysis, this project directly contributed to the collection, processing and data configuration of elephant ivory and molar samples as well as food eaten by said elephant. Misha, an elephant from the Salt Lake City Hogle Zoo, had previously been living in Californ... | |

| 5 |  | Barnett, Ellie | Childhood maltreatment and parenting sensitivity: is mental health the link? | Presented at URS Description: This project evaluated whether childhood maltreatment predicted mental health problems during pregnancy and less sensitive parenting behaviors at 7 and 18 months postpartum. Additionally, it aimed to see if mental health problems predicted less sensitive parenting behav... | |
| 6 |  | 2018 | Sumpter, Hailee | Coding Arduino for Improving SSTDR Testing | Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) sends signals down a wire, then records the time between any resultant reflections. Using that data, we can plot graphs showing when or where faults happen. We are trying to create a consistent and controllable intermittent fault, because these fault... |
| 7 |  | 2025-12 | Lenart, Joshua | Decker Lake Revitalization Project | This report was prepared by civil and environmental engineering students at the University of Utah enrolled in CVEEN 3100: Technical Communications for Engineers (Fall 2025). Students enrolled in this course identified various aspects of Decker Lake Park in West Valley City, Utah that stand to benef... |
| 8 |  | 2021 | DeFord, Alexis, Pardyjak, Eric, Stoll, Rob | Development of a Low-Cost Aspirated Temperature Measurement Radiation Shield | Presented at the 34th Conference on Agricultural and Forest Meteorology in June 2021. Measuring air temperature accurately with low-cost sensors is difficult due to solar radiation, which heats up the sensor and causes it to record a higher temperature. Even with the industry standard radiation shie... |
| 9 |  | 2022 | Dhileepkumar, Sumitra | Do electrons ghost Ions after a merger? - a NuSTAR investigation of intracluster plasma in Abell 2146 | Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound objects in the universe. Cluster mergers convert upwards of 1065 ergs of gravitational potential energy into the kinetic energy of the intracluster medium (ICM), the hot ionized plasma between galaxies in a cluster (Zuhone & Su 2022). Merger... |
| 10 |  | 2024 | Simpson, Taylor; Hari, Ashwini Sri; Metcalf, Cameron S. | Evaluation of the effects of the toxicant carbon monoxide on Dravet syndrome pathophysiology | There is no literature on the impacts of CO on the Dravet Syndrome population • The aim of this study is to better understand how sub-chronic CO exposure influences Dravet Syndrome pathophysiology. • About 80% of DS patients have a Scn1a gene mutation1, so our model is C57 Black mice with an Scn... |
| 11 |  | Taliercio, Vanina | Expanding the phenotypic spectrum of Currarino syndrome with cardiac anomalies | A 3-day-old female was born at 34 weeks via vaginal delivery after PROM with a prenatal diagnosis of IUGR and postnatally confirmed hypoplastic left heart with non-restrictive ASD, mitral atresia, aortic stenosis, and large PDA. | |
| 12 |  | Sauve, Constance | Fate of recycled material in the mantle during decompression melting | This research project assesses the decompression melting of a heterogeneous mantle to determine the conditions for melts derived from recycled material (pyroxenite) to reach the surface without being in full re-equilibration with the surrounding mantle (peridotite). As 80% of magmatic productivity i... | |

| 14 |  | 2019 | Siripong, Minta | Foreign Aid, Domestic Politics, and Time-to-Development: An Analysis of Subnational Aid Efficacy | Focusing on the understudied causes of variation in domestic aid efficacy, this research studies the politics of sub-national development. While allocation and implementation of aid projects is affected by donor governments, multilateral aid agencies, NGOs, and a wide variety of private actors, the ... |
| 15 |  | Hall, Lydia | Geometric morphometric analysis of sexual dimorphism in the avian lung | Avian lungs are the most efficient in the animal kingdom. With unidirectional airflow and a system of nine distinct air sacs, birds can support a highly aerobic lifestyle, enabling endothermy and flight. Investigating these structures not only improves our understanding of this vital biological func... | |
| 16 |  | 2025 | Dain, Avery; Sieburth, Leslie; Cummins, Alex | Identifying suppressors of the bps-1 phenotype through a mutagenesis screen in Arabidopsis thaliana | Every year, there is about ten billion dollars of crop loss in the US alone. For this reason, gene regulation and a plant's ability to prosper under environmental pressures is extremely important to our economy. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the loss of one gene in particular results in extreme phenotype... |
| 17 |  | 2024 | Sheneman, Mia; Steenblik, Jacob | Improving access to naloxone | Direct distribution of resources as an overdose prevention strategy has shown success in other hospitals. |
| 18 |  | 2018 | DeFord, Alexis | Improving Air Temperature Sensor Accuracy with a Custom Aspirated Housing Unit | Many fields of research require the ability to accurately measure ambient air temperature. This task is complicated due to solar radiation which heats the sensor and causes it to record a higher temperature than is accurate. The traditional way to protect against this kind of interference is to ha... |
