Faculty Sponsor: Greg Voth Abstract: In a fluid mechanics lab, it is often the case that a particle’s movement through fluid must be studied in minute detail. Our lab records videos of 3D-printed particles moving in a high-volume tank of water with four high-speed cameras, and we aim to examine their motion by determining the … Read more
Faculty Sponsor: Logan Dancey Abstract: In this project, we employ topic modeling and word count differences to examine congressional reaction to the end of the war in Afghanistan through an analysis of House and Senate committee hearings pre- and post-withdrawal. The heightened media attention to the withdrawal provides us with an opportunity to study how … Read more
