Engineering Undergraduate Research Experience: Ava Riaziat
Channel: Purdue Engineering
Date: 2021-10-01

Ava Riaziat was part of small cohort of 17 students who received a stipend to participate as first-time undergraduate researchers at Purdue University during the 2020-2021 academic year. 

Riaziat was mentored by Dharmendra Saraswat, associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering. Riaziat's project predicted crop loss in plants due to disease, before it became detrimental to the crop loss, by using healthy and diseased images from public databases and machine learning to identify if those diseases were in any of the images.

Not only did Riaziat produce results for the research project, but she learned more about time management by balancing her class road with research responsibilities, to be more independent and self-guided in her learning, and to refine her career direction.
