CE graduate student Reza Moini advanced to the final round of the Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) competition with his presentation titled, "Mimicking nature: can we 3D-print stronger buildings?" The event was held on April 16th at Loeb Playhouse on the campus of Purdue University.

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland. The competition develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of students' capacities to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to an intelligent but nonspecialist audience.
