Student Research Opportunities

Undergraduates

Depending on the semester, we have as many as 30 undergraduates that work with us on various projects. We work very hard to make sure that all of our students receive the hands-on experience that compliments the 'book learning' taking place in your classes. Participation in our lab has been a rewarding experience--professionally and personally, for dozens of students in the recent years. A high percentage of our former undergraduate research assistants have been accepted into the graduate program of their choice. Contact Peter Ralston if you are interested in working in our lab.
