UC Merced is fast becoming known for solar energy work, as evidenced by three students being chosen as finalists in the Big Ideas competition sponsored by the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society.
CITRIS pairs up faculty and students from UCs Merced, Berkeley, Davis and Santa Cruz with industrial researchers. Through competition, teams that submit white papers have a shot at thousands of dollars in prize money.
This year, UC Merced graduate students Ricardo Marquez and Hugo Pedro and undergrad David Larson netted $1,000 and honorable mention for their project. Read all about it here.
