Student Research at NLU
Dissertations in Progress and Capstone Projects: A Poster Gallery
For the second year in a row, we added to the Doctoral research events with a Dissertation and Capstone Poster Gallery. Doctoral candidates and graduate students who are in the process of dissertation and capstone research prepared lively Padlet posters on their progress. Participants, including students, faculty, and staff took a virtual walk through the posters, giving real-time feedback. The enthusiasm and learning were so strong that this is now an annual event. Please feel free to walk the padlet gallery yourself!
Undergraduate Research Symposium The ambitious research being carried out by NLU undergraduate students was showcased in the fourth annual virtual student research symposium, where undergraduates shared an impressive range of original and applied work spanning sociology, criminal justice, psychology, computer science, and education. From examining global prison conditions and youth homelessness to developing AI-powered tools, exploring biometric approaches to behavioral intervention, and designing supports for families of children with autism, the presentations demonstrated students’ ability to use research, technology, and disciplinary knowledge to investigate complex problems and imagine new solutions: Social Sciences Presenter: María Juliana Oviedo Lopez, Sociology: “Community Photo Journal - Bogota Colombia” Presenter: Siddhartha Kunwar, Criminal Justice: “Global Prison Conditions and Recidivism: A Comparative Analysis” Presenter: Larry Salgado, Psychology: “Biometric Monitoring and Behavioral Intervention: A Pilot Study Using Consumer Wearables and AI-Assisted Clinical Support” Computer Information Systems Presenter: Mohammed Abdul Zeeshan, Computer Information Systems: “Vibe Coding the Future” Presenters: Orkhan Guliyev & Sofia Milovanovic, Computer Information Systems: “AI Audio Detection of Cognitive Decline in Dementia Using Speech and Health Data” Presenter: Okasha Omar Mohammed, Computer Information Systems: ”Pitchmate, AI Interview Coach for CIS Majors” Education Presenter:Kayla Hering, Education : “The Development of a Wholistic Support Program for Parents of Children with Autism” Presenter: Elizabeth Sandoval, Education : “Should schools be required to identify and support homeless youth?”
