Description

Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research is an important component of academic learning in Scientific Inquiry. This independent learning opportunity allows advanced students to delve into real-world research with faculty who are currently engaged in specific projects. Students typically begin by working in apprenticeship with faculty or laboratory staff and gradually take on more independent projects within the context of the specific research program as they gain experience. Students can develop vital skills in research design, data acquisition and interpretation, written and oral communication, collaboration, and critical thinking that are valuable for pursuing a graduate degree or entering the job market. Faculty offering undergraduate research opportunities are listed below. Contact them directly if you are interestedKrishna Chowdary (physics, materials science) is interested in the synthesis, fundamental properties, and applications of magnetic nanoparticles and ferrofluids. The current goal is building a magnetic nanoparticles research laboratory, specifically focused on constructing a vibrating sample magnetometer along with general research lab infrastructure. Students with background in physics, engineering, or computer science and with an interest in hands-on work applied to instrumentation will be able to contribute to this project.
