Julia Bottoms, Painting Faculty Mentor: Professor Carol Townsend, Design Abstract Title: Faces On the Tree: Exploring Heritage Through Portraiture Julia will graduate in May 2012 with a B.A. in Art. After graduating, she plans to pursue her studio practice endeavors that include illustration. She also is considering continuing her studies at the graduate level. For her research, Julia documented her lineage through portraiture. Initially, she explored her sense of identify by interviewing and photographing local relatives on her Greek as well as her African-American side. She then traveled to Franklin, Virginia to immerse herself in her African-American culture. Upon returning to Buffalo she finalized her series of portraits. Anthony Bruce, Fashion and Textile Technology Faculty Mentor: Professor Holly Henderson, Technology Abstract Title: Into the Loop: Explorations In Fashion Knitwear Anthony graduated in December 2011 with a B.F.A. degree in Fashion Technology and a minor in Fiber Design. Tony was a member of the American Green Team, finalists in the national competition “Trimming the Waste of Fashion”. Anthony plans to pursue a career in fashion design with a focus on knit fabrications. As part of his research, Tony attended a two weeklong training workshop on Computer Aided Design for knitwear techniques hosted by the Shima Seiki Corporation in Wakayama, Japan. Tony researched sustainable materials used in the knitwear design process, created a portfolio of garment designs utilizing advanced zero-waste knit technology and explored possibilities of bringing fashion manufacturing back to America. He plans on further using this research to co-author a book on the interpretations and contemporary applications of knitwear techniques and whole garment technology. Kelly Caruso, Furniture Design Faculty Mentor: Professor Jozef Bajus, Design Abstract Title: Second Chance: The Application of Recycled Material In Furniture Design Kelly will graduate with a B.F.A. in Furniture Design and Woodworking. After graduation she plans to continue here study of furniture at The Danish Design School in Copenhagen, Denmark. She hopes to continue promoting the practice of green design in her future endeavors. Kelly studied the application of using recycled materials in building furniture. She was inspired and motivated by the current environmental issues of today to explore different materials and research how they could be manipulated. Using several techniques and methods from her furniture and fiber design background, she took donated and found materials and applied them to her design. Her goal is to continue those practices in the future to build functional furniture that is still contemporary. Recipients of Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowships in 2011 19
20 Undergraduate Summer Research Fellowship Program Devon Cozad, English Literature Faculty Mentor: Professor Lisa Berglund, English Abstract Title: Franchised Folklore: Exploring Beauty and the Beast In Modern America Devon will graduate with a B.A. in English literature in May 2012. Afterward, she plans to pursue a doctoral degree and hopes to become a college professor. For her project, Devon explored how modern America understands the fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast.” After examining the history of the tale and its recent adaptations, Devon is now pursuing the connection between modern media adaptations and associated physical merchandise. This connection she has called “franchised folklore,” arguing that while we continue telling the tale of “Beauty and the Beast,” modern readers also want an actual piece of the story to carry with us always. Anthony Delmont, Physics Faculty Mentor: Professor Ram Rai, Physics Abstract Title: Growth and Low-Temperature Optical Studies of HoMnO 3 Thin Films Anthony will graduate with a B.S. degree in Physics in May 2013. He is a member of the American Physical Society and the Vice President of the Buffalo State Physics Club. After graduation, he plans to earn a Master’s degree in physics. Anthony’s research focused on the growth and characterization of multiferroic thin films, such as HoMnO 3 (holmium manganese oxide). He developed a method to deposit the high quality HoMnO 3 thin films on single crystal sapphire, quartz, and LiNbO 3 substrates using the electron-beam evaporation system. He also investigated the low temperature optical studies of HoMnO 3 thin films to understand the electronic structures and spin-charge coupling process. Anthony found that the growth parameters play an important role to tune the physical properties of the thin films. Jonathan DeMay, Engineering Technology Faculty Mentor: Professor Stephanie Goldberg, Technology Abstract Title: Design of a Remote-Controlled Friendly Feline Enclosure Jonathan DeMay will be graduating in May 2012 with a B.S. in Engineering Technology, Smart Grid option. He already holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics. Jonathan’s research involved the design of a friendly feline trap with a remote-controlled door. He designed an embedded microcontroller system that allows a user to position the enclosure door via a wireless control knob. The user may choose an automatic mode in which the door closes when a sensing system detects the cat inside the enclosure. He constructed a functional prototype based on feedback from a feline rescue expert. Jonathan would like to consider development of the functional prototype to a final product design. Jonathan represented Buffalo State at the SUNY-wide “Discovery: An Undergraduate Showcase” held in the Legislative Office Building in Albany, NY in February 2012.
