Past recipients

2024-2025

Josiah Quinlan

Senior in biological and agriculutrual engineering
Research area: Decision-making in public health emergencies involving multiple independent entities. I examine how organizations manage supply chain operations and explore the role of collaboration in improving outcomes and reducing costs.

Riley Byrd

Senior in industrial and manufacturing systems and engineering
Research area: Using piezometers to test water quality on the Kansas and Big Blue rivers. The piezometers collect isolated samples of the water flowing within the riverbed to establish water quality conditions before and after the Water Injection Dredging Project (WID). The WID will take place on the Tuttle Creek Lake in spring 2025.
