The Capitol Graduate Research Summit took place in Topeka March 25. Over 40 graduate students from various Kansas public universities presented their research and how it contributes to the economic development of the state.
Two Wichita State students were awarded at the summit, Mary Peterson and Adithya Melagoda, both electrical engineering majors. Mary’s poster was entitled, “Solar Energy to Improve Electrical Service Reliability During Winter Weather” and Adithya’s was entitled, “Power Distribution System Restoration During Extreme Events: Equality or Equity?”
Both of these students were advised by Dr. Visvakumar Aravinthan, chair and professor of electrical and computer engineering.
