The campus will remain closed until 12 noon Thursday, 02/13/25. Students should log into Canvas for specific class information from their instructors. Please contact event organizers for information on specific activities. Normal operations will resume at 12pm on Thursday.
In an opportunity to showcase what students are currently working on and highlight the inventive ideas and research being done at LTU, chemistry, biology, and physics students presented their research to industry and academic leaders.
Research showcased the different disciplines within the College of Arts and Sciences. Noah Sinishtaj, a molecular and cell biology major, researched the compatibility between biometric collagen scaffolds and stem cells. Sinishtaj plans to perform animal studies next to determine if these scaffolds have potential in the field of tissue engineering. BPA is a molecule used in plastic and has been linked to reproductive issues. Jessica Clore’s, a chemistry major, goal is to create different versions of such molecules with the same physical properties of strength and stability but with fewer reproductive issues. Dylan Karges, a physics major, looked at the size, the size distribution, the surface features, and everything else about the nanoparticles generated by household ultrasonic humidifiers from tap water. From the results, Karges recommends against using tap water in a humidifier and recommends using distilled water, as one is supposed to.
Students at LTU are encouraged to be inquisitive and conduct research beginning their freshman year. Their curiosity and determination to explore the how, why, and what drives them to conduct meaningful research that helps create a better tomorrow—the college is immensely proud of the incredible work they have achieved and the ones they continue to accomplish.
