The Office of Undergraduate Research and the Office of the Vice President for Research award only five Excellence in Undergraduate Research Awards each year.  These awards recognize outstanding accomplishments in scholarly investigation, artistic creation, or performance by an undergraduate student. EURA awardees receive an OUR Fellowship, a travel scholarship, and campus-wide recognition. Nina has been awarded the EURA for her research in the LOQATE lab. Her work uses hyperspectral imaging to monitor landscape-level patterns of tree health. She currently examines Bur oak spectral responses to heat and high CO₂ to detect stress before it becomes visible.
