Master’s and doctoral students from across the College of Engineering and Computer Science presented their research on Friday, March 22th at the 2024 ECS Research Day, which was held at the National Veterans Resource Center. From fundamental studies to prototype development, a total of 113 posters and 20 oral presentations highlighted the broad research activities across the college.
A keynote address, “The Crucial Role of Strategic Decision-Making in Career Progression: A Personal Journey” was delivered by Melur K. “Ram” Ramasubramanian, Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost at the State University of New York (SUNY) and the President of the SUNY Research Foundation. As an alum with PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from SU, Ramasubramanian shared his experience and insightful career advice with the attendees.
“ECS research Day is a signature event that we organize ever year to celebrate graduate research in our college. This year is particularly exciting with a new record of participation and high-quality research presented. It showcases the strong scholarly work in many areas.” said Dacheng Ren, Associate Dean for Research.
