Doctoral grad wins Ivy+ Three Minute Thesis competition
Cornell 2026 Three Minute Thesis (3MT) winner Ellen van Wijngaarden, Ph.D. '26, has done it again, taking home first place in a 3MT competition with an engaging, succinct presentation on her mechanical engineering dissertation research.
But this time, rather than being up against seven other Cornell competitors, she faced off against students representing eight peer institutions.
The Ivy+ 3MT was held on June 10 via Zoom, featuring students from Cornell, Columbia, Dartmouth, Princeton, Stanford, University of California Berkeley, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania and Yale, all of whom won their individual university 3MTs before coming together for this competition.
