Our research is highly interdisciplinary with aspects that appeal to those with chemistry, biology, climate, geology and engineering interests and majors from each of those areas currently or previously have worked with us. Not only is hands-on research a great educational opportunity, these research experiences can also be very beneficial for graduate school applications, company internships or job applications and for enhancing your CV for applications to professional schools. Undergraduates are encouraged to write proposals to support their research endeavors with mentoring.
