***I am currently looking for undergraduate students on the Lima campus who are interested in research opportunities!***
As part of my dissertation research, I had the opportunity to work with several undergraduates to give them first-hand experience with research as part of a collaborative research team. For those undergraduates who wished to further their research experience, my advisor and I worked with them to design and conduct their own projects. Under our guidance, these undergraduates went on to present their independent research in poster competitions at research symposia on campus and at national society meetings.
