Sample Student Projects

Want to know what kind of science our students work on? Take a look at some research titles from the past few years.

We realize some of these titles may be intimidating. Fear not! The vast majority of our students enter the program with no prior knowledge of their research topic. What our students accomplish in just six weeks is truly impressive.
