The Feb. 17 Capitol Research Summit featured Kansas-related research conducted by graduate students at K-State, the University of Kansas, the University of Kansas Medical Center and Wichita State University. It was supported by KansasBio and the graduate schools and graduate student organizations at each university. Two students from each university were chosen as winners.

Pahwa's research, "Distributed Sources and Islanding to Mitigate Cascading Failures in Power Grid Networks," also featured co-advisers Noel Schulz, Paslay professor of electrical and computer engineering, and Caterina Scoglio, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. The research focuses on using renewable energy sources to enable islanding in the transmission grid and help avoid cascading failures in power grids, such as what happened in the Northeast blackout of 2003.
