2021 Undergraduate Research Symposium

Welcome to the Online Proceedings for the 2021 Undergraduate Research Symposium. The 24th Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is organized by the Undergraduate Research Program, which facilitates research experiences for undergraduates in all academic disciplines. The Symposium is a chance for undergraduates to present what they have learned through their research experiences to a larger audience. It also provides a forum for students, faculty, and the community to discuss cutting edge research topics and to examine the connection between research and education. The event includes poster and lightning talks and presentation sessions by students from all academic disciplines and all three UW campuses, plus invited guests.
