Most Impactful President 2019
Up With the White and Gold Awards Ceremony, co-hosted by the Division of Student Life and Presidents Council Governing Board presented Luke with this Burdell's Best award.
Ga. Tech has over 700 clubs and organizations, being selected as an honoree is an outstanding accomplishment. As President of Tech Club Baseball, Luke brought diversity, team comradery and a higher level of play to the team. He worked for two years to design, promote and raise funds for an on-campus batting facility for club baseball, and other students who were high school softball or baseball players.

Idea to Prototype
Idea to Prototype (I2P) program, part of the CREATE-X initiative, offers undergraduate research course credit for you and your teammates to advance your ideas for a potential value creating a product by performing basic research, analysis, building, and testing--leading to a proof of concept prototype. Think of it like undergraduate research--a deep dive on a problem for 1-2 semesters with a mentor. We received multiple grants for materials and supplies. Craig R. Forest, Associate Professor in Bioengineering was our mentor.
Our team developed headphones to ease eardrum pain when flying. We received First Place in Spring of 2017.

Yellow Jacket Baseball Club
As a freshman, I was responsible for promoting and scheduling social events with other Clubs such as Lacrosse and Equestrian.
2nd year, I was a part of the Executive Board and was responsible for selecting and booking travel accommodations for Spring 2017.
3rd year, I was elected by my peers and teammates to be the President of Yellow Jacket Club Baseball. My responsibilities include presiding over the Executive Board, recruiting new players at FASCET, organizing practices, obtaining fields for play, scheduling umpires, and managing the team during fall and spring seasons. I have also found that I must lead by example, be willing to listen and compromise, and by promoting diverse and inclusive baseball players we have built a stronger team.
National Club Baseball Association: South Atlantic-East Conference Player of the Week (#21)
Bumgardner led the way for Tech in their two games against Clemson going 5-for-8 at the plate. He had two doubles, one home run knocking in three RBI's and scoring three times himself all while swiping two bags in the process.

Influence of Brain Stem on Axial and Hindlimb Spinal Locomotor Rhythm Generating Circuits of the Neonatal Mouse
Summer of 2017, I worked as an intern with Dr. Marie-Claude Perrault at Emory University.
Abstract
The trunk plays a pivotal role in limbed locomotion. Yet, little is known about how the brain stem controls trunk activity during walking. In this study, we assessed the spatiotemporal activity patterns of axial and hindlimb motoneurons (MNs) during drug-induced fictive locomotor-like activity (LLA) in an isolated brain stem-spinal cord preparation of the neonatal mouse. We also evaluated the extent to which these activity patterns are affected by removal of brain stem. Recordings were made in the segments T7, L2, and L5 using calcium imaging from individual axial MNs in the medial motor column (MMC) and hindlimb MNs in lateral motor column (LMC). The MN activities were analyzed during both the rhythmic and the tonic components of LLA, the tonic component being used as a readout of generalized increase in excitability in spinal locomotor networks. The most salient effect of brain stem removal was an increase in locomotor rhythm frequency and a concomitant reduction in burst durations in both MMC and LMC MNs. The lack of effect on the tonic component of LLA indicated specificity of action during the rhythmic component. Cooling-induced silencing of the brain stem reproduced the increase in rhythm frequency and accompanying decrease in burst durations in L2 MMC and LMC, suggesting a dependency on brain stem neuron activity. The work supports the idea that the brain stem locomotor circuits are operational already at birth and further suggests an important role in modulating trunk activity. The brain stem may influence the axial and hindlimb spinal locomotor rhythm generating circuits by extending their range of operation. This may represent a critical step of locomotor development when learning how to walk in different conditions and environments is a major endeavor.
