The Ninth Annual Undergraduate Physics Research Symposium was held on November 8, 2019 in room 177 in Newcomb Hall. Five undergraduates gave oral presentations of their physics and astronomy-related research at the event, and 5 undergraduates presented posters. Topics presented that placed are as follows:

Posters

• Levi Schult: Improving Pulsar Timing with Wideband Pulse Portraits
• Liam Walters: Dense Gas Tracers in the Most Massive Infrared Dark Cloud
• Morgan Waddy: Observing Mildly-Recycled Binary Pulsar J1516-43

Oral Presentations

• Eric Rohr: On the Galaxy-Halo Size Relation at Cosmic Noon in FIREbox
• Morgan Waddy: Testing General Relativity with Black Hole-Pulsars
• Ethan Blaser: Developing a Photometric Data Pipeline in Support of the Exoplanet Survey
