For University of Mary Washington junior Mohammad Ali Hassan, Saturday\u2019s presentation was personal. Standing in front of a poster representing his work in the lab, the biology major spoke of his family\u2019s experience with two different types of aggressive cancer.<\/p>\n

Hassan\u2019s research employs mice to test the effects of immunogenic chemotherapy on triple-negative breast cancer, a similarly illusive and fast-growing disease. \u201cI was grateful for the opportunity to study something I\u2019m interested in and develop my skills in a laboratory,\u201d he said of his recent stint in UMW\u2019s newly named Irene Piscopo Rodgers \u201959 Summer Science Institute and the work he\u2019s completed with fellow Mary Washington students.<\/p>\n

Guided by Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Laura Sipe, Hassan\u2019s project was one of more than 80 displayed and discussed during the sixth annual Network for Undergraduate Research in Virginia (NURVa) Conference. Marking its d\u00e9but appearance at the University of Mary Washington, the event turned the Hurley Convergence Center into a repository of scholarly exploration, with posters on view in the downstairs Digital Auditorium and oral presentations taking place on the upper floors. More than 100 students came from schools \u2013 large and small, public and private \u2013 across the Commonwealth to share their work, including about a dozen from UMW.<\/p>\n

\u201cMary Washington was thrilled to host the NURVa annual conference this year,\u201d said Director of Undergraduate Research Elizabeth Lewis. \u201cNot only do students get to showcase their hard work, they also have a chance to interact with peers from other institutions in the state. I was really proud of their great work and the hospitality of our faculty and students.\u201d<\/p>\n

NURVa Chair David A. Salomon of Christopher Newport University kicked off the opening message for the daylong event, with UMW Provost Timothy O\u2019Donnell encouraging participants to take advantage of the opportunity to interact with fellow researchers from other institutions.<\/p>\n

Hassan\u2019s study \u2013 \u201cCall for Back Up: Cisplatin Induced Immunogenic Cell Death to Delay Tumor Onset in a Preclinical Model of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer\u201d \u2013 was among those exploring everything from physical exercise in older adults to coastal resilience in urban environments. Christopher Newport, George Mason, Liberty, Longwood, Old Dominion, Radford, Virginia State and Virginia Commonwealth universities participated, along with the College of William and Mary, Hampden-Sydney College and Virginia Tech.<\/p>\n

Liberty University juniors Alyssa Canelo, Annaliese DeFelice and Victoria Pacheco explained their research on antibody production in zebrafish and the light it can shed on the environmental effects of microplastics. \u201cThis is important because there are plastics everywhere,\u201d Canelo said. \u201cIt\u2019s an unexplored area, so it\u2019s really important that we were able to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haley Gilley, a sophomore at Radford\u2019s Davis College of Business and Economics, studied \u201cgamification\u201d of the learning experience, researching the propensity of course-based escape-room experiences to improve student motivation, even for those who don\u2019t \u201cwin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Longwood junior biology major Jackson Geeslin\u2019s study \u2013 \u201cImpacts of Polyethylene on Batrachochytrium Dendrobatidis\u201d \u2013 explored the effects of environmental pathogens on an aquatic fungus that adheres to amphibians. \u201cWe can\u2019t just take all the fungus out of North America and send it back,\u201d he said. \u201cBut we can help mitigate its effects.\u201d<\/p>\n

UMW junior Kassandra Williams explained her research \u2013 \u201cConvolutional Networks for Determining Optimal Block Preconditioners\u201d \u2013 with Assistant Professor of Computer Science Evan Coleman. Enlisting concepts like Block-Jacobi preconditioners, the Goldilocks problem and PNG regression analysis, she aimed to break enormous equations into understandable bits, through computational guesswork that gets closer and closer to an actual answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we get the model to a point where it feels successful, it could be nice to introduce it to engineers,\u201d said Williams, who received the Ralph A. Niemann Scholarship in Computer Science<\/span>. \u201cI really enjoy applying classroom knowledge to real-world topics, and I\u2019m excited to see other examples from other schools.\u201d<\/p>\n
