NORMAN, OKLA. - With just three minutes to present his research on 3D printed implants, University of Oklahoma graduate student Ali Rassi has risen to the occasion.
Rassi, a master s student in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering, was recently named the overall winner of the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools regional Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition for his video presentation on 3D printed implants - a technique that may ultimately help those with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or other joint health issues. Rassi s video also was one of three videos that was selected to be aired publicly at the competition.
In a âhistoric university-wide effort,â OU graduate students will be administered a survey to inform the university of their experiences in the OU Graduate College.
Set to launch April 6, the Graduate Student Experience in the Research University survey will evaluate different aspects of graduate studentsâ experiences, including their quality of advisement and academic training, financial situations, wellness and whether or not they feel supported in their academic unit, according to Senior Associate Dean of the Graduate College Sherri Irvin.
The SERU Consortium of research universities designed GradSERU to compare OU studentsâ experiences with other SERU members. Irvin said the survey is anonymous, and no one at OU will have access to respondentsâ identifying information.
