“The EAUP White Paper Challenge was a tremendously valuable experience for me. Very few students have the opportunity to present their research in such a public forum with exposure to top tier companies, along with the possibility of those companies adopting academic research for use in product development.  I am extremely grateful to the EAUP for this experience.”
