Eight Cornell doctoral students will be advancing to the final round of the 2023 Three Minute Thesis competition (3MT). The students and their fields are:
Fangming Cui, psychology
Sharada Gopal, biological and biomedical sciences
Yuexing Hao, design and environmental analysis
Kimberly Hochstedler, statistics
Lidia Komondy, entomology
Sangwoo Park, biophysics
Susannah Sharpless, English language and literature

The final competition will be held live over Zoom on Thursday, March 30. A panel of judges with connections to the Cornell community will evaluate students on how well they presented a compelling story on their dissertation or thesis and its significance in just three minutes in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience with the aid of only one, static slide.
