UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CONFERENCE | 2020 URC 2020

Welcome to the UNH Undergraduate Research Conference

or 21 years, the URC has been UNH’s premier celebration of our students’ innovative research and academic excellence and our faculty’s dedication as mentors and scholars. This year’s virtual URC has certainly challenged Fthem to be more creative and determined than ever.

The suspension of in-person classes and on-campus events came as more than 1,800 URC student participants were preparing their final projects and presentations, many of which represented years of hard work, inquiry and experimentation. The rapid response of our faculty and staff to create a virtual James W. Dean Jr. URC experience reflects the remarkable character that defines our Wildcat community at its best.

The research projects that you will see online are the result of a shared, unwavering commitment to excellence at UNH, even in the face of a daunting global crisis, and will prepare our students for lifetime success in a dynamic world. As you view the URC virtually, we think you will be as impressed and as proud as we are.

Thank you for visiting the virtual URC, and for supporting New Hampshire’s flagship public university.

Wayne Jones Best regards,

James W. Dean Jr. President

Wayne Jones Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs

2020 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CONFERENCE • 1 A Welcome from the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research

elcome to the 21st annual celebration of But, thanks to the resourcefulness, creativity, and spirit of academic excellence at the University of New our UNH community, the virtual URC was a resounding Hampshire! The URC embodies UNH’s mission success, with 1,374 students — a full 74% of those who Wto offer students a discovery-based education by encouraging registered for in-person events — presenting their research, inquiry, exploration, and deeper immersion in their fields of scholarship, and creative work. study. Student presenters represent disciplines from across the academic spectrum, reflecting the breadth and depth of In the pages that follow, we want to acknowledge all of the undergraduate research and scholarship at UNH. in-person events that had been planned for URC 2020, as well as all of the students who intended to present at one or more At the Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research, our core of those events, before the disruptions of COVID-19. The mission is to provide resources and financial support for the students who were able to present at the virtual URC are research, scholarly, and creative projects of UNH students. noted with an asterisk (*). Our additional role as the administrative home of the URC enables us to broaden our commitment to supporting and This year more than ever, we also want to recognize the many showcasing all stages of the research process — including members of the UNH community whose dedication and the final stage of communicating research findings to enthusiasm are critical to making the URC possible. You will the wider public. For many UNH students, the URC is find their names in the acknowledgements at the back of the their first opportunity to present their work to a broad book. The partnerships between — and shared investment of audience. The URC is thus vital in giving students practice — students, faculty, staff, and administrators not only ensure in public speaking, communicating complex ideas to a the success of the URC but also demonstrate the strength of general audience, and developing a deeper understanding the UNH community. Thank you for joining our community of their subject areas. Such experience prepares students to as we celebrate our students’ remarkable scholarship! pursue graduate study and to establish and be successful in meaningful careers.

This year, of course, has brought extraordinary challenges — to our world, and to our University. By the March 4th Paul C. Tsang, Ph.D. URC registration deadline, 1,861 students — mentored by Director, Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Biomedical Sciences over 420 faculty members and other research advisers — had registered to present their research and scholarship at more than 20 in-person URC events on the Durham and Manchester campuses. Just one week later, COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic, and one week after that, Molly Doyle, Ph.D. UNH shifted to remote operations. With the help of UNH’s Administrative Director, Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research Academic Technology, Hamel Center staff and individual URC event coordinators University-wide made quick work of shifting the URC to a virtual event. Due to such an abrupt shift in planning, not all unique events were able Amanda Leger, M.A. to go forward virtually; and, for a variety of reasons, not URC Coordinator, Hamel Center for Undergraduate Research all students were able to participate in the virtual URC.
