On May 3rd and 4th, 2023, 24\u00a0<\/span>Fowler School of Engineering (FSE)<\/span><\/a> students presented extensive scientific scholarship at the Spring Scholar Symposium, a biannual event hosted and sponsored by the <\/span>Center for Undergraduate Excellence (CUE)<\/span><\/a>. There, both undergraduate and graduate scholars shared insight into their research processes and findings within the broader Chapman community. Their poster and oral presentations showcased significant progress, passion, resilience, and ingenuity over months of dedicated work, celebrating FSE students\u2019 impactful contributions to advanced technologies and socially-conscious innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n

For FSE students, research presented at the Scholar Symposium is conducted between faculty experts and emerging student scholars, unifying both established and fresh perspectives under the aims of ongoing scholarship. Under the guidance of Fowler faculty, students can build confidence in a variety of widely-applicable skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am most proud of students when they start out unsure about conducting research or presenting,\u201d stated <\/span>Director of CUE Dr. Julye Bidmead<\/span><\/a>, who spearheads this event every semester. \u201cThen, they learn how to do a poster or an oral presentation, which gives them an opportunity to shine; they get to demonstrate all of their knowledge on a poster. When people come to talk to them, it is fulfilling because they realize that they are the expert when they present their research or creative activity to a broader audience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyler Woo (Electrical Engineering \u201823), one of the many FSE students who presented at the Spring Scholar Symposium, used this opportunity to showcase his extensive investigation into optimizing and designing metasurfaces. With the support of <\/span>Dr. Nasim Estakhri, an Assistant Professor at FSE<\/span><\/a>, Woo\u2019s research focused on different metasurface techniques that can split or deflect photonic and radio waves. \u201cOur research primarily involves trying to develop metasurface designs, studying optimal ways to create topology for meta surfaces. Their practical applications can include lens technology, holography, wave front shaping, quantum optics, and cloaking,\u201d Woo explained.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In Woo\u2019s experience, this event furthered his communication skills, bridging the gap between conducting practical research and sharing it with the world. \u201cThe biggest challenge is the presentation element\u2014doing any presentation is scary, but I was confident in the work my mentor and I had done together,\u201d said Woo. \u201cDr. Estakhri and I established a clear way of portraying my information to a large audience without feeling nervous, so from there it just required a lot of practice. I think that has been one of the biggest achievements I’ve had: a successful presentation in front of an audience about my research.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Scholar Symposium also offers a valuable opportunity for many FSE students to expand upon their most unique academic endeavors, including those beyond their usual degree program foci. \u201cMy research has been interesting because I\u2019m a Software Engineering major; nonlinear optics is a little more outside of my usual interests and experiences,\u201d said Kyle Wynne (\u201824). \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see how the other side lives and to start getting acclimated to what a research environment looks like.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wynne\u2019s advanced scholarship explored nonlinear optics\u2014subject matter more typically encountered at the graduate level. He presented this complex research through a 15-minute oral presentation followed by a Q&A period, discussing how the creation of new photonic computing devices could lead to easier and more effective data transmission over long distances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m very proud of Kyle’s work and his presentation,\u201d shared <\/span>Dr. Mark Harrison, the Assistant Professor at FSE<\/span><\/a> who served as Wynne\u2019s research and symposium advisor. \u201cKyle has been very persistent in getting difficult experiments to work, which lead to the data he presented in the Student Scholar Symposium. In fact, he’s gotten quite good at setting up the experiment and taking data, and can do so pretty quickly at this point.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a recipient of the Robert A. Day Research Grant\u2014a prestigious award which funds faculty-mentored student research that demonstrates engineering excellence and dedication\u2014Wynne will spend the summer continuing his outstanding research by expanding the use of nanodevices for information processing. Using parametric amplification and simulation software, he aims to design devices that can be used in a hierarchical design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHis work is laying an important foundation for future research in my lab, and I’m excited to continue working with him over the summer and hopefully next year as well,\u201d said Harrison.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
