Research Interests of Faculty
Includes Undergraduate Researchers
Most of the Faculty members
maintain an active research program, designed for undergraduate participation.
Each faculty member has his or her own research laboratory for the use of
undergraduate students. As a student, you are strongly encouraged to perform
scientific research with faculty. Of those students who have participated in
research with faculty, many have been co-authors of papers published in
scientific literature or presented at scientific meetings. The research
experience can have a very favorable impact on the potential to thrive as a
student and as a professional. Please check out the research interests of the
faculty below, because one or more of these areas may become your research
interest as well!
