91ֿ students and faculty took part in the second annual Innovation Day on Oct. 11, with one 91ֿ student bringing home honors.
Doug Delahanty, Ph.D., vice president for research and economic development, said 91ֿ was well-represented at the event with many students entering the poster competition and several faculty and emeritus faculty members also giving presentations.
91ֿ is a top-tier research university and encourages a wide breadth of undergraduate student research.
Tram Le, a 91ֿ senior computer science major in the College of Arts and Sciences, received Honorable Mention in the poster competition and a $400 prize for her work, titled, “Invisible to AI: Leveraging Image Anonymization with Explainable Neural Networks via Layer-wise Relevance Propagation.” Le also participated in 91ֿ's Summer Undergraduate Research Experience.
The event is sponsored by the Northeast Ohio Public Universities Research Alliance, a consortium composed of 91ֿ, Youngstown State University, the University of Akron, Cleveland State University and Northeast Ohio Medical University.
The event is a venue for innovators, university faculties and students to discuss and showcase the region’s key innovations, technology transfer strategies and thought leadership.
The inaugural Innovation Day was hosted at 91ֿ in 2023. This year’s event was at Youngstown State.
