Cumberland Student Wins at Clarkson University Summer Symposium on Undergraduate Research Experiences

2015 Oct 2

Clarkson University aeronautical engineering student Nicholas Liotta of Cumberland, R.I. was one of the students honored for their research presentations during the 18th annual Summer Symposium on Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE) at Clarkson University.

Liotta won first place in the poster session for biomechanical engineering. Liotta's research focuses on the development of a pressure switch that will help with research into tracheoesophageal speech.

SURE provides undergraduates a forum for presentations of research and independent projects, or other educational activities such as internships, co-ops and study abroad experiences. The goal is to celebrate all forms of scholarship and to provide an opportunity for a broad audience to appreciate work by Clarkson's undergraduate students.
