Alabama State University will host its annual “Research Frontier Symposium” virtually on March 9-10, via Google Meet and Zoom. The theme of the symposium is “Innovation in STEM Research.”
This year, the Research Frontier Symposium will include an international advising committee. The advisors are expected to provide advice as needed. The activity may include student award selection, abstract review, session chairs, speakers and among others. The service is completely volunteering to support the STEM community of the Symposium, especially on the under-represented students.
The Advising Committee members are distinguished world experts and active leading scientists from famous institutions world-wide, including Japan, Canada, UK, Russia, China and the United States. The advising members are from prestigious institutions, including Yale University, UC Berkeley, Rockefeller University, Washington University in St. Louis, Boston College, and George Institute of Technology.

As the National Science Foundation recommended, a broader definition of STEM fields includes chemistry, computer and information technology science, engineering, geosciences, life sciences, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy, social sciences (anthropology, economics, psychology and sociology), and STEM education and learning research. Once again, let us celebrate and share some of the recent world-class breakthroughs and achievements during the last 12 months in the fields of STEM.
Over the years, the Symposium has increasingly become a regional conference and provides an excellent platform for undergraduate, graduate, and research scholars at Alabama State University as well as other institutions to share their research experience to a broader audience. The Symposium will inspire the students in their future STEM endeavors and facilitate the collaborations among the faculty members in their respective fields.

In 2022, it is highly recommended that students participate in the Symposium by presenting posters, oral talks, and the 3-minute talk competition. The student winners (about 10% of total participants) will be selected in three categories (talk, 3-min talk, poster) at the five levels (high school, undergraduate, Master graduate, Ph.D. graduate and postdoc) by the Symposium Student Award Committee.
“This year we introduced an informal student discussion session, which is primarily designed to students by the Symposium Student Committee,” said Dr. Harvey Hou, professor of Forensic Science. “The discussion topics of the session are importance and challenges of obtaining publications, overcoming research bottlenecks, the industry versus academia debate, and open discussion.”
