Gross '20 wins college poster competition
Joseph Gross '20 once again topped a field of college scientists in a science poster competition, winning first prize at the University of Miami's Big Data Conference and VizUM Symposium Dec. 11. Gross earned $500 for his poster entitled “Machine Learning for Metal Identification in Water Samples Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy."
University of Miami students earned second and third places, respectively. The field featured just eight posters, but contributors included college students, doctoral candidates and professors from UM and Florida International University.
Gross' poster described how his RE research team, working under RE faculty members Claudia Ochatt and Luis Felipe, used a laser and machine learning algorithms to identify six metals in water samples from Biscayne Bay. Fellow students in Felipe's Applied Data Science class who were attending the conference accepted the award on Gross's behalf.
In October, Gross and the team of Max Vallone ’22 and Josh Buttrick ’22 earned two of five student awards presented at the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies SciX 2019 conference in Palm Springs, Calif. There they received Outstanding Spectroscopic Research for a Student Member awards.
