2023 IMSAloquium Student Investigation Showcase

Welcome to IMSAloquium 2023. This is IMSA’s 36 th year of leading in educational innovation, and the 35th year of the IMSA Student Inquiry and Research (SIR) Program.

Within this booklet, you will find a collection of abstracts from outstanding student projects. The topics range from biomedical research, chemistry and physics to mathematics to the social sciences, as well as business and entrepreneurial projects form our Internship students. Our students have worked hard on their projects, some individually, some in groups, and today is the day for them to display their hard work.

This year, we have about 180 projects to showcase. Many of our students have worked with mentors at leading universities, research laboratories, and businesses. Some students have worked remotely with off-campus mentors. Other students have worked with IMSA faculty on campus. In addition, this is the third year that students participated in on-campus SIR courses, and their work is represented at IMSAloquium. The SIR team would very much like to thank both our off-campus and on-campus mentors for their outstanding work with our students. The IMSA SIR program and the IMSA Internship program could not exist were it not for all of our mentors working with and advising our students.

In addition to thanking our SIR mentors, we wish to thank all the IMSA faculty and staff who helped support the SIR and Internship programs throughout the year, and their assistance with coordinating and hosting this year’s IMSAloquium.

We hope you enjoy your morning and find it to be a rewarding and educational experience!
