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
  • Yurong You, computer science

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.
