 Today we had the poster competition. Very high-quality posters that I've noticed over 85 posters were presented undergraduate, graduate, with about 80 to 85 judges. I researched the visceral electric effect and that is a coupled phenomena. It has to do with the flow of a dielectric fluid and the electrostatic current that it produces. Before I did this research, I've never even heard of this phenomenon. Here at UWM we believe that it's important that students participate in research activities. This is a kind of experiential learning where students learn by doing. They explore novel ideas that are not necessarily in textbooks, and as a result they learn more and deeper information than they would learn otherwise. I am currently working on a DC community microgrid to serve an underserved community in Milwaukee. The main idea is to make these smart homes. Getting the recognition of R1 I think puts us in a higher level. So an R1 designation is the highest possible research designation from the Carnegie Institution. It means for undergraduate researchers that they're exposed to some of the best ideas, the best knowledge creation, the cutting-edge theory, the cutting-edge practice, and it also reinforces the partnerships that we have. I'm here today to judge the research poster competition both as a representative for GE Healthcare and as an alum of this university. You know, GE is helping to support this poster competition and the university in general because there's a large investment in developing new engineers and the sooner we can get at them and help them start developing the critical skills that they need to be effective in the workforce is better for us. It was really a great event.
