Virtual Idaho Conference

VIRTUAL IDAHO CONFERENCE

JULY 23 – 24, 2020 boisestate.edu/icur/ The Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research (ICUR), the first of its kind in the state of Idaho, is a celebration showcasing the leading edge of undergraduate research. The mission of ICUR is to promote mentored undergraduate research, scholarship, and creative activity in Idaho in all disciplines. The goals of ICUR are to highlight the engagement of undergraduate students from multiple areas of research, to build an extended scholarly community across institutional boundaries in Idaho, and to ensure diversity in institutional representation, academic discipline, and student background.

7 C. SCOTT GREEN C. SCOTT GREEN President, University of Idaho Dear student researchers, faculty and friends, 8 –26 POSTER TITLES BY POSTER NUMBER Thank you for your participation and your support of the 27 SPONSORING UNIVERSITIES Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research.

28-30 POSTER NUMBER INDEX This collaborative event brings together some of our state’s brightest student researchers to share their impactful work. This year — just like so many other Photos provided by Boise State University Visual Services, events — it has taken a different form. Researchers and Idaho State University Photographic Services, and University of event organizers had to pivot to a virtual environment. Idaho Photo Services. They had to learn how to study and stay focused on the work at hand. Then, they had to translate that work into digital portrayals of their research. Each of them is to be commended for their creativity, their perseverance, and their hard work.

This kind of commitment, positivity and creative thinking will be more vital than ever as we move forward through the challenges of our current moment and into the uncertainties of the future. Research will be an important part of that movement forward. Not only do discoveries create new knowledge in the world and advances that materially improve lives across the globe, but we also know the impact it has on helping students to become innovative thinkers and leaders. These are all extraordinary outcomes.

The Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research embodies the heart of a research university — faculty and graduate students mentoring and engaging our undergraduate students and preparing them to lead the world beyond graduation. You truly are among an impressive group of innovators today. Thank you for supporting this great work.

Research in higher-education expands the boundaries of human knowledge through the work of dedicated scholars and teachers. When students have the opportunity to learn and engage in that process, they gain access to truly life- changing education.

At Idaho State University, we believe that undergraduate research helps students develop essential skills in problem- solving, critical thinking and networking. Undergraduate research provides truly unique and impactful learning opportunities for students. They leave our University with key skills that allow them to be competitive in the workforce.

Idaho State University faculty and administration support the pursuit of undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research across a broad range of disciplines, from political and behavioral science to biological science, from nuclear materials studies to anthropology. We provide students with opportunities to work on challenges such as water, energy, public health, and economic development while developing mentoring relationships to carry them through to graduate studies, and beyond.

The Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research is a unique forum where we recognize achievements in research by undergraduate students within our state while promoting the importance of this aspect of their higher education. This conference showcases the efforts and results of research performed by students from each of Idaho's universities.

On behalf of the faculty and administration at Idaho State University, I welcome you and thank you for your contributions to this student experience at the 2020 Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research.

KEVIN D. SATTERLEE,

PRESIDENT, IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY ICUR 2020

6 Greetings, It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Idaho Conference on Undergraduate Research (ICUR). This conference provides you an opportunity to exchange ideas across disciplines, expand your professional network and prepare for careers – all part of the University of Idaho’s mission of teaching, discovery and service. ICUR also offers a space for educators and researchers to learn more about the ways undergraduate research has enhanced your experience as a college student.

Undergraduate research is an integral part of a Vandal education that’s unique among U.S. universities. Between half and two-thirds of all U of I students participate in hands-on research as undergraduates. The University of Idaho (U of I) strives to support these activities across the state of Idaho and it is proud to be part of ICUR. Our institution recognizes the vast amount of work students put into academic inquiry and at ICUR we celebrate the undergraduate effort towards expanding the boundaries of our knowledge. The U of I applauds all students presenters at ICUR 2020.

U of I faculty members have joined colleagues from our sister institutions to plan and produce this exceptional conference. The insight and tools you gain will no doubt enhance your college experience. The skills learned here are an investment into the future of Idaho and our research-focused impact across this great state. Thank you for joining us.

Sincerely, C. SCOTT GREEN,
