URSA travel awards support students with their active participation in a conference, competition, immersive program, performance, workshop or other type of meeting in their respective field.
Eickenberry, who works under the mentorship of Phylicia Cicilio, received the award for her participation in the North American Power Symposium in North Carolina. She presented a poster titled 鈥Synthetic rural Alaskan microgrid model validation metrics鈥 with another intern, Cathy Hou, a Harvard University student and also Cicilio鈥檚 mentee.
The award gave Eickenberry the opportunity to not only share her work and the research that ACEP is doing but to also get exposure to other research in the field.
鈥淚t was rewarding to meet researchers and professionals with the same enthusiasm,鈥 she said.
