James Hand, our BID4R lab’s Graduate Student received the SRS’s Graduate Student Award with his research titled “A Systematic Literature Review and Functional Decomposition Summarizing Eusocial Insect Parasite Resistance: A Tool for Biologically Inspired Design” advised by Bryan Watson, P. E.

With this award, our lab received a back-to-back awards from research symposiums at ERAU. Last semester, Jack Capuano, our lab’s Undergraduate Student won the 1st session’s Undergraduate award at the Discovery Day Research Symposium in Spring 2023 with his research titled “Development and Verification of a new Drone Swarm Search and Rescue Model.”

We are very happy to have brilliant and dedicated students in our lab! We look forward to be a part of another research symposiums!
