OPPORTUNITIES FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH

Undergraduate scientific research is an activity that has many benefits:

But perhaps the most important benefit is the understanding you gain as to how scientific information is accumulated and ideas developed; and how you fit into the picture - is this what you want to spend your life doing? In fact, your participation in research may turn out to be the most important aspect of your college experience.

The following is a list of professors who have expressed particular interest in including undergraduates in their research groups this year.  There are other professors who did not have the opportunity to be included on this list and would be glad to meet you.  Check the faculty webpages which provide more complete information. Then speak to professors whose class you have enjoyed and who you think might be interesting to work for. If you have any other questions regarding undergraduate research in the Chemistry Department, you may contact Professor Robert Kerber, Undergraduate Research Liaison. Note that registration in CHE 487 or 495-6 can be done only through the Department office.

All rooms given below are in the Chemistry building.  You should try to arrange all research opportunities well in advance of the semester in which you wish to do research.
