Just some of the posters in Mary Gates Hall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By Douglas Esser
\nUniversity of Washington Bothell students presented posters or talks on more than 50 projects at the 2018 UW Undergraduate Research Symposium<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UW Bothell posters on organic electrochemical transistors, the autistic spectrum disorder and campus crow vocalizations were among hundreds of research projects from all three UW campuses that were celebrated May 18 in Mary Gates Hall in Seattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was one day that was two or three years in the making, UW President Ana Mari Cauce told the young researchers in welcoming remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students \u201care motivated by these research questions that spur their course of study and the discovery of new knowledge,\u201d said Carolyn Brennan, UW Bothell\u2019s assistant vice chancellor for research<\/a>. \u201cIt is inspiring to see them succeed in finding a mentor and collaborating with other students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Anna Kirchan and Cheyenne Camelio, left with Brennan, conduct research on organic electrochemical transistors under the direction of Seungkeun Choi, associate professor in the School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Camelio, a junior in electrical engineering, has been fabricating transistors and testing chemicals, trying to improve the current flow through the device. An organic electrochemical transistor might be used to measure glucose in a diabetic\u2019s saliva rather than blood, she said. Her poster was titled Characterization of Organic Electrochemical Transistor with Nafion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Kirchan, a dual major in Electrical Engineering and Chemistry who graduates this summer, has been testing a similar transistor with a heater. Her poster was titled Temperature Effect on Organic Electrochemical Transistor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIdeally, these transistors will be biocompatible so they can be implanted in more complex devices that would go into a human body,\u201d said Kirchan, a Mary Gates scholar<\/a>. One possible use, she noted, might be to screen for cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Melissa
Melissa Maack is a junior transfer from Edmonds Community College planning to major in Biology with two minors, Neuroscience and Chemistry. She said her research into the causes of autism is personal. She has been diagnosed on the high end of the autism spectrum and has a son who is lower on the spectrum.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe told me, \u2018Mommy, one day I want to be normal.\u2019 So that killed me as a parent,\u201d Maack said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maack compares an autistic brain to a lamp flickering with a short circuit. A former pharmacy tech, she hopes to find a widely accessible treatment that keeps the light on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryan White, a senior lecturer in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, is the mentor for her project, titled, A Neurostructural, Neurochemical and Genetic Analysis of the Pathogenesis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Derek
Derek DeLizo, an Electrical Engineering senior graduating in the summer, is part of the team studying the vocalization of crows that land on the roof of UW Bothell\u2019s Discovery Hall. His mentors are Shima Abadi and Douglas Wacker, assistant professors in the School of STEM. Also presenting the poster, titled Localizing Crow Vocalizations in Social Aggregations, were Derek Flett, a senior in Mechanical Engineering, and Virdie William Guy, a fifth-year Mechanical Engineering student.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The engineering students have been involved on the technical side of the recordings. Biology students are trying to identify what the crows might be communicating, DeLizo said. The research is an opportunity to apply school learning to a real-world situation \u2014 \u201ca big opportunity to explore,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
