Their research spans a wide range of topics, from the technical challenges of using
a 3D printer to produce a crop top made from thermoplastic urethane, which has a fluidity similar to leather or fabric,
to costume design for Tolkien characters. Both of these honors theses were featured in A+, the Honors College magazine, and the Tolkien-inspired costumes were exhibited in the Honors College wing of Gearhart
Hall in Fall 2019.
