We were awarded a total of $16,000. Each student’s full tuition of $1600 was covered, as well as full housing costs of $600/student for two […]
A Study of Buddhist and Hindu Art and Culture in the Kathmandu Valley and Sherpa Culture in the Solukhumbu Region of Nepal
1. Evaluation of how well the academic objectives of the proposal were met Background Background In 2014, I received a MEG to direct student research in two regions of Nepal; Kathmandu and the Khumbu region of the Himalayas. While we were in transit to New York, Nepal experienced a serious earthquake. Consequently, the study was […]
Determining Commercial Viability of Battery via Visual Database
Sterling Baird and Dr. Robert Davis, Department of Physics and Astronomy Batteries have applications in medical, defense, communication, transportation, and a host of other technologies. In the last several years of conducting experimental energy storage research, I began noticing gaps between what literature research was reporting and the criteria industry uses to assess the commercial […]
Modeling Quantum Energy Teleportation
Rachel Gardner, Dr. Manuel Berrondo, and Dr. Jean-Francois Van Huele, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction The purpose of my research was to design and create a model for Quantum Energy Teleportation (QET) that maximizes the usefulness of the teleportation. The model allowed me to contrast QET to Quantum Information Teleportation (QIT), and in particular […]
Transformations: Lessons on Moral Agency for Families
Katelyn Suneson and Faculty Mentor: Dennis Packard, Philosophy The purpose of this project was to complete and publish an LDS family relations text, which is now in its second year of development.

My goal was to analyze Collier’s photographs in order to raise awareness of the contributions […]
Parameter Reduction of the Hodgkin-Huxley Model of a Spiking Neuron
Tyler Bahr and Dr. Mark Transtrum, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction The foundational model of voltage spiking in neurons, formulated by Hodgkin and Huxley in 1952, is composed of 4 dynamical variables and 25 parameters. The sheer complexity of the basic neuron model is a key issue which makes neural simulations computationally expensive. We […]
