Georgia Gwinnett College’s (GGC) undergraduate research team, comprised of GGC students Shone Cherian, Tamera Crawford, Ewura Ama Awere, Anthony Damian and Jennifer Jimenez‑Hernandez, was selected to present at the 2026 Posters at the Georgia State Capitol, a competitive, peer‑reviewed research showcase organized by the Georgia Undergraduate Research Collective and held on February 17, 2026. Posters at the Georgia State Capitol is an annual event to spotlight innovative student research that demonstrates methodological rigor, strong faculty mentorship and relevance to Georgia’s civic and economic priorities. Participating students have the opportunity to share their work directly with state officials and higher education policymakers. The team, mentored by Dr. Sairam Tangirala, professor of physics, and Dr. Tae Song Lee, associate professor of physics, presented their poster titled “Mapping the Moon’s Surface using Project DORA: Dynamic Objective‑Reaching Autonomous Rovers,” showcasing interdisciplinary research in robotic autonomy, extraterrestrial terrain mapping and mission‑relevant engineering — fields increasingly important in Georgia’s expanding aerospace and technology sectors.
