Tanner Thompson and Dr. Ryan Jensen, Department of Geography Introduction Kelp forests provide food and shelter for many organisms, and they are an important part of coastal ecosystems throughout the world. Along the Pacific coast of the United States, kelp forests are made up of one of two species of kelp: bull kelp (Nereocystis Luetkana) […]

A relative-age geologic map and geomorphic analysis of Syria Planum
Michael Lowry and Dr. Eric Christiansen, Geology Department Introduction Mars, especially the region known as the Tharsis Bulge, is replete with volcanoes and other evidences of volcanism. The morphology of these volcanoes and the relative ages of lava flows and other features grant important insight into the history of the planet, the tectonic setting of […]
Recognizing the Portuguese Immigrants of the 1940s through Photographs by Visual Anthropologist John Collier Jr.
Anna Giberson and Faculty Mentor: James Swensen, Department of Comparative Arts and Letters This project focused on the study of the photographs of Portuguese immigrants in Massachusetts taken in 1942 by John Collier Jr., an important pioneer in visual anthropology. My goal was to analyze Collier’s photographs in order to raise awareness of the contributions […]
PbSe and PbTe Quantum Dots inside the Ferritin Protein
Kameron Hansen and Dr. John Colton, Department of Physics and Astronomy Ferritin (FTN) is a spherical protein shell used nearly ubiquitously across life to store and transport iron in a non-toxic form. Ferritin’s natural occurring ferrihydrite mineral (Fe(O)OH) can be removed, leaving behind a hollow interior that conveniently serves as a template for researchers to […]
Robotic System for Cepheid/ δ-Scuti Photometry
Adam Bugg and Dr. Eric Hintz, Department of Physics and Astronomy Cepheids and δ-Scuti stars are two kinds of pulsating variable stars. Variable stars are so called because their brightness in the sky changes with time, following a regular period. In astronomy, variable star research is often done using a method called photometry, in which […]
Periodic Variability of Mrk 501 in Optical Light
Joe Rivest, McKay Osborne, and Dr. Joseph Moody, Department of Physics and Astronomy Introduction We’ve studied the light curve of the blazar object, Markarian 501 (Mrk 501). This project is important because it helps refine the still developing standard model of a galactic nucleus and could aid the search for binary black holes. Blazars are […]
The Women of Guernica: A Compilation of Interpretations
Heidi Herrera and Faculty Mentor: Dr. Heather Belnap-Jensen, Art History and Curatorial Studies Introduction Although there is a wealth of scholarship on Picasso’s Guernica (1937) (Fig. 1), until recently there has been a distinct lack of analyses completed through feminist methods, an approach essential to a holistic understanding of Guernica. Conducting on-site research at the […]
Understanding our Early Christian Roots Translating and Publishing a Koine Greek Papyrus
Zakarias Gram and Faculty Mentor: Lincoln H. Blumell, Religious Education- Ancient Scripture This project was focused on analyzing, transcribing, translating, and publishing an edition of an ancient Greek papyrus housed in Oklahoma City. The experience was both very educating and exciting for me, as I am pursuing a degree in Classics and will continue to […]
Functional Optimization of Carbon Nanotubes
Taylor Davis and Sr. Brian Iverson, Mechanical Engineering Department Introduction The objective of this project was to create, characterize, and optimize carbon nanotube (CNT) films as a surface functionalization strategy through modifying the growth, infiltration, and patterning during fabrication. Carbon nanotubes have drawn attention in various disciplines in the scientific community because of their incredible […]
Differentiation of Kidney progenitors using Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Conditioned Media of Renal Cortical Tubular Epithelial Cells
Steven Passey and Dr. Alonzo Cook, Chemical Engineering Department Introduction: According to the National Kidney Foundation, 26 million American adults have kidney disease, 47,000 Americans died from kidney disease in 2013, and over 100,000 people await kidney transplants. Current treatment of kidney failure includes dialysis and kidney transplant. Unfortunately, those undergoing dialysis may experience fatigue […]
