Nathan Undergraduate Research Experience Award

2022-2023 Recipient

Andrew Eells

senior, computer science

Research project title: “Using Ontology Design Patterns for Knowledge Graph Contruction and Integration"

"Open access to quality information is motivating and inspiring to me. As research and knowledge become more readily available, others can verify and build on that knowledge to help solve global issues. This award helps me to continue researching and developing methodologies for constructing knowledge graphs that are easy to integrate and share with other researchers and to make the information in them accessible to everyone.

Award information

Through a fund provided by Raj and Diana Nathan, the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering is able to offer an annual research experience award for a K-State engineering undergraduate student at the junior or senior level. The purpose of the award is to provide a meaningful research experience for the recipient. The funds are designated to support the activities of the selected student and may be paid to the student as an hourly student wage. The award may be used over a period of one year from the date of the award. The funds may not be used to support work on a funded project or for other activities in which they would otherwise be paid. The award should be used for an independent project or an expansion of a funded research project.

Each academic department may submit one proposal limited to a two-page form and a one-page letter from the faculty research adviser. The selection process within the department is at the discretion of the department head. A fully engaged faculty member to supervise the student’s experience is very important and the department head when recommending a proposal should consider this.

Questions should be sent to ergp@k-state.edu. View the nomination form (doc).
