Poulomi Dey, a student research assistant at FRIB, received a first-place award for her research presentation at the Michigan State University (MSU) 2024 University Undergraduate Research and Arts Forum (UURAF). Dey’s presentation was titled “Point-cloud based machine learning for classifying rare events in the Active-Target Time Projection Chamber.” 

Held each spring, UURAF allows MSU undergraduate students to share their work with faculty, staff, peers, and external audiences. Participants present their research, answer questions from audience members and guests, and receive feedback from judges.

More than 1,000 students from 12 colleges participated in the event. They were mentored by over 600 faculty, staff, post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, and government/industry partners. At the event, there were over 700 presentations in 32 different subject areas. Several students from FRIB gave presentations. To see a full list of presenters, visit the UURAF website.

The winners were recognized at the UURAF Awards Ceremony on 12 April. See photos from the event and lists of the presenters and winners on the UURAF website.
