Mathematics major Alexia Mintos, a senior, conducted her research under the mentorship of Dr. Jelena Kovacevic at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Pa. Her poster was titled "Combining Wavelet Features with PCA for Classification of Protein Images. The students' presentations were evaluated by a panel of judges. These winners have earned trips to national conferences in their fields. UVI student research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation's HBCU-UP Program and VI-EPSCoR (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research), and the MARC Program of the National Institutes of Health.
