Beyond the enriching experience of developing technical skills and critical thinking, you'll also grow your ability to communicate your research results. Some undergraduate researchers serve as lead- or co-authors in peer-reviewed publications. You may also be able to submit your faculty-mentored research, or an independently led project, to an undergraduate research journal. Student publishing is an excellent way to showcase your contributions, gain recognition, and prepare for research-centric careers.
Publishing in an Undergraduate Research Journal
Submitting your work to an undergraduate research journal is an excellent way to test your ideas and analyses with other undergraduate researchers and burgeoning experts in your field. There are many undergraduate research journals, some of which are open to Stevens students. Please check the submission deadlines and your submission eligibility in the Undergraduate Research Journal database hosted by the Council on Undergraduate Research. In your pursuit of this extracurricular educational experience, you will be supported by staff and faculty.
Spotlighting Stevens Undergraduate Researchers
Below are some recent achievements by Stevens undergraduates who have contributed to peer-reviewed research articles.
Sally Mangassa is a mechanical engineering major, who worked alongside graduate students and under the mentorship of Dr. Gizem Acar. Together, they published a study on programmable “smart materials” that can change how they vibrate and modulate material stiffness by adjusting tiny built-in parts called resonators. Sally helped create a simplified model to understand and predict material behavior, which could help engineers design materials that better control vibrations in things like buildings, vehicles, or electronic devices.

Gursimran Vasir is a computer science major, who worked under the guidance of Dr. Jina Huh-Yoo, to create a systematic understanding of generative AI hallucinations. Their work that has been published as a conference paper is a strong first step in the field to holistically understand the biases and flaws of AI-generated content.

Sofia Martinez, Luo Xu, and Mariam Elnaggar, students majoring in computer science and computer engineering, recently published two papers on the use of AI for software engineering. With the support of Dr. Eman AlOmar, they wrote a systematic literature review and a primary literature article on how AI can help software engineers adjust the architecture of their code.

Daisy Morgan, a chemical engineering major, worked a graduate student and Prof. Yong Zhang in their recent publication. Daisy used advanced computer simulations to help understand the complex chemical reactions that produce nitroxyl, a biologically important signaling molecule. The findings offer new insight into how the body might naturally generate this medically relevant molecule.

Vrinda Modi is a recent alumnus who majored in chemical biology. With Dr. Yong Zhang, Vrinda performed computer simulations to reveal how proteins normally found in blood cells can guide certain chemical reactions, showing which molecular features make the reactions work better or more selectively. Understanding these details helps researchers design cleaner, more efficient catalysts for future sustainable chemistry.
