Be sure to tune into the Three Minute Thesis final round of competition on April 9.
3MT 2019Article by Emma Ryan
For the first time, the final round of Georgia Tech’s annual Three Minute Thesis (3MT) Competition will be held virtually on April 9. But, that doesn’t mean that the 11 students who will be competing in the finals are any less excited.
“I’m very happy the Three Minute Thesis Competition was still able to happen during these unprecedented times,” said Andrew Tricker, one of the finalists and a fifth-year Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Ph.D. student. “Making it to the finals is exciting and validates the effort I’ve put into my communication skills. I know everybody will have competitive presentations and can’t wait to see the work of my fellow graduate students.”
Since 2015, Tech’s version of this international competition, which started at The University of Queensland, Australia, has provided graduate students with an opportunity to hone their professional skills and win prize money to help further their research efforts. The competition challenges students to explain their research in three minutes in a way that anyone can understand.
And on April 9 from 3-4:40 p.m. Tricker and the other finalists will present their research on topics that could one day impact your day-to-day life. The campus community is invited to tune into the event via BlueJeans to cheer on the students and vote for the winner of the People’s Choice Award. (Winners will receive research travel grants ranging from $500-2,000.)

Ten Ph.D. students and one master’s student (who was awarded first place in the master’s category and will be competing for the People’s Choice Award) made the cut to participate in the finals. Congratulations to the following students:
