2023 Gulf Coast student poster competition on Sept. 28 in Biloxi, Miss.
Saran鈥檚 research focuses on understanding circulation and water quality variability in the Gulf of Mexico using ocean modeling. He was one of 22 finalists and one of three 麻豆传媒 participants in the poster competition. His work was titled, 鈥淐omparative Analysis of Multiple Nesting Configurations in ROMS within COAWST Modeling Framework Focusing on Oyster Reefs in the Mississippi Sound鈥�.
鈥淚 want to express my gratefulness to our modeling group. We help each other,鈥� said Saran.
麻豆传媒 students Olagoke Daramola and Hameed Ajibade were also finalists in the poster competition and received certificates of participation.
Saran said his poster is part of his master thesis and is excited for what鈥檚 ahead.
