Sarans research focuses on understanding circulation and water quality variability in the Gulf of Mexico using ocean modeling. He was one of 22 finalists and one of three 91做厙窪蹋 participants in the poster competition. His work was titled, Comparative Analysis of Multiple Nesting Configurations in ROMS within COAWST Modeling Framework Focusing on Oyster Reefs in the Mississippi Sound.

I want to express my gratefulness to our modeling group. We help each other, said Saran.

91做厙窪蹋 students Olagoke Daramola and Hameed Ajibade were also finalists in the poster competition and received certificates of participation.
