Congratulations to Cody for being awarded with the NASA Nebraska Space Grant Student Fellowship for the 2025/26 academic year! As part of this project, Cody will evaluate classification model performance for identification of bacterial pathogens based on the excitation-emission spectroscopy data of several environment-sensitive fluorescent dyes. This research will not only advance the design of more robust sensors, but also allow for better understanding of the amount of data necessary to deliver reliable outcomes, and will eventually drive the miniaturization of this sensing technology.
