RISE(ING) to the Occasion: CORE Lab Success at RISE 2018

Each year, Northeastern University hosts the Research, Innovation, & Scholarship Expo (RISE), an event which prides itself on celebrating “tomorrow’s ideas today”. Over 2,000 technology enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and industry leaders from a myriad of diverse sectors descend upon Northeastern to engage with more than 400 of Northeastern’s solution-focused innovations and research endeavors. This year, the CORE lab had a whopping 9 abstracts and posters accepted to the expo. Of the 9 posters presented at RISE, 4 of them were awards finalists, and 2 of them won! We are all extremely grateful for the opportunity to present our research and ideas at RISE this past Thursday, April 5th among so many other talented huskies. It is truly inspirational to be surrounded by those who share our love and passion for research and innovation.
