18 Research Reflection by Zachary Olson

Faculty Mentor: Haohan Zhang (Mechanical Engineering, University of Utah)

The research done for this project helped me to understand better how to work with a team. I discovered how slow processes can be when needing approval from a large group helping me to not procrastinate and take initiative when possible. This project has helped me understand how to perform research which will be helpful as I enter into graduate school in this following year. The tools I’ve learned during this SPUR of being proactive and in navigating a research process was greatly beneficial to my future as a graduate student.
