Each presentation could include a maximum of one slide only to provide an overview of the basic idea behind the research and its impact. Attendees visited each poster and cast their vote to help determine Patton as the winner to receive a $250 prize. Patton, a PhD student in the Ohio State Electrical and Computer Engineering program, is advised by Professor Ronald M.
