Seven UT students are traveling to Nashville for the event.<\/p>\n<p>The Posters at the Capitol project started in 2006 as a way for legislators to meet with students from their districts and to see the quality and value of research being done by undergraduate students across the state of Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amanda Bryant<\/strong>, of Greenville, Tennessee, is a senior in religious studies. Bryant\u2019s research poster explores how gentiles were incorporated into the Jesus movement without converting to Judaism, using the biblical figures of Hagar and Sarah as a main case study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Freeman<\/strong>, of Memphis, Tennessee, is a senior in biochemistry and cellular and molecular biology. Freeman\u2019s research seeks to better understand how plants regulate nutrient transport between cells and tissues as the basis for developing plants with more optimal nutrient transport to serve an ever-increasing global population.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clayton Hale<\/strong>, of Nolensville, Tennessee, is a senior in forestry restoration and conservation science. Hale\u2019s poster explores how land managers can experiment with mixed-species planting to increase biodiversity during reforestation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mackenzie Hobbs<\/strong>, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a senior in history. Hobbs\u2019s research poster uses the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which played from 1943 to 1954, and specifically the career of Knoxville native Doris (Sammye) Sams to explore notions of masculinity and femininity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grace Malone, <\/strong>of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is a senior in public administration and a Greg and Lisa Smith Global Leadership Scholar. Malone\u2019s research evaluates the impact of state mental health care expenditures on incarceration rates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aiden Rutter<\/strong>, of Knoxville, Tennessee, is a junior in computer science. Rutter\u2019s research takes machine learning\u2014algorithms that learn to complete tasks without explicit instructions\u2014and uses it to improve wireless communications on hardware with limited processing and storage capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexander Tripp, <\/strong>of Powell, Tennessee, is a senior in political science. Tripp\u2019s research explores Chinese investment into Latin American countries as China tries to maintain production of goods for its massive population and economy. His poster evaluates what strong Chinese investment could mean for the future of the Latin American region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis event provides our students with the chance to see how research can affect policy change. They have the chance to meet with their state representative, share their research, and learn more about the legislative process. I continue to be impressed each year with the research acumen of our undergraduate students. They are great ambassadors for UT,\u201d said Marisa Moazen, assistant vice chancellor for research and engagement and director of undergraduate research.<\/p>\n<p>Students interested in presenting research can apply to participate in<a href=\"http:\/\/eureca.utk.edu\/\"> EUR\u0113CA<\/a>, the Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement, held each spring semester during Research Week.
