The NYU Shanghai Undergraduate Research Symposium is a university-wide celebration of research, which showcases work from students spanning the arts and sciences, computer science and engineering, and business. This semester, the symposium is held virtually. 9 projects are divided into two categories: STEM and Social Science.
