  • Kaden Buford and Kayla Anderson

    'Dynamic Duo' impact exercise science through undergraduate research at Kennesaw State

    May 08, 2025

    Ƶ senior Kaden Buford likes being hands-on with exercise science, immersing in a clinical environment and helping people heal from injuries. Her classmate Kayla Anderson, on the other hand, prefers research, delving into the scientific “why” using data, experiments, and observation. Together, they form a formidable team of exercise science majors studying effective measures of muscle function and supporting each other both in and out of the lab. Recently, they worked together on three research projects, and Anderson presented her findings at the spring Symposium of Student Scholars.

  • Imani Adenuga

    Chemistry student engaged in sustainable catalyst research through Kennesaw State's First-Year Scholars program

    April 08, 2025

    Imani Adenuga can’t recall the exact moment science grabbed her by the heart, but she has always been inquisitive in nature, seeking knowledge no matter the subject area. “I always want to know the why,” said Adenuga, who studies chemistry in the College of Science and Mathematics. “I think that just goes with science—figuring out the why of things or what makes things happen.” The First-Year Scholar dove into research immediately upon arrival at KSU last fall, landing in the lab of chemistry professor Daniela Tapu where she took on a project involving sustainable catalysts. It constituted a huge leap for a freshman, given that the project is grounded in organic chemistry, a critical class for chemistry majors that she hasn’t taken yet.

    KSU researcher designing AI system to transform water safety

    March 17, 2025

    Water is necessity that humans cannot live without. Despite this, accurate water quality data is not widely accessible in real-time, which is a detriment that can impact public health and aquatic ecosystems. Assistant Professor of Computer Science Ahyoung Lee is working to fill in these gaps using a bacterial monitoring and forecasting system that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI), real-time monitoring, and predictive analytics to provide water-quality information and predict potential bacterial outbreaks.

    Ƶbusiness student finds research niche in virtual reality

    March 14, 2025

    As she began her first year at Ƶ, information systems student Fareedah Ashiru had not thought about conducting scholarly research as a freshman – much less the type of impactful research that could help people live healthier lives. That changed one day in the first-year colloquium she was taking as a student in the KSU Journey Honors College. Her professor outlined the many academic and experiential opportunities available to first-year students at Kennesaw State, and Ashiru was intrigued that she could be involved in undergraduate research so early in her college career.
