The Graduate School and Marquette University held the 3MT® competition on February 21, 2020. The Three Minute Thesis is a global research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland in Australia. This academic competition for doctoral and master’s degree students required each participant to explain his or her research effectively in three minutes, using one slide, with no animation.
After competing in a qualifying round, finalists were chosen to compete for the coveted prize of $1,000. Additionally, $500 was awarded to the Runner-Up and the audience voted for the People’s Choice winner who was also awarded $500.
Isabelle Horvath (pictured left with Dr. Doug Woods), a doctoral student in the Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering program, emerged as the Three Minute Thesis competition winner with her presentation, “Designing Nutrient Traps: Optimization of Green Stormwater Infrastructure".
Isabelle will move on to represent Marquette University at the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools regional competition in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Horvath also was awarded the People's Choice award, which was voted by the audience.
The Runner-Up was awarded to Mr. Nicholas Sepulveda, a doctoral student in Biological Sciences program, with his presentation, "Temperature Stress Weakens Male Fertility".
Congratulations and thank you to our winners and competitors from this year’s competition! It was incredible to learn about the research from our graduate students.
