On Thursday April 4th 2019, Northeastern held their annual Research Innovation and Scholarship Expo (RISE). Each year, over 2000 researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, attend the conference not only to hear ideas and presentations, but to participate as judges at the conference. The CORE Lab was represented by 10 different posters produced by teams led by graduate students and undergraduate researchers. Out of over 400 projects presented at RISE, three of the CORE lab’s posters were chosen as finalists for awards (30% success rate for CORE Lab posters, 5.5% for everyone else), and two won awards! Congratulations to everyone who participated, the hard work and passion put into these projects was truly inspirational!
