Summer Research – 2016 REU at Penn State

During the summer between my freshman and sophomore years I was able to attend a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) at The Pennsylvania University. I learned so much from this experience and had a lot of fun while doing it. My graduate student mentor explained new concepts really well and I learned so much about what graduate school is about. I was able to gain experience in what doing research is about by completing my own short research project and presenting; through a 5-minute talk and at a poster session (me and my poster at right).
