Interested in Working With the Following Programs
For EXCEL URE Students Only
Additional Notes
Due to the nature of the experiments, a time commitment of at least 10hr/wk are required (there is downtime during reactions for students to work on homework; example student might be around the lab for 5hr on a given day, with hour 1 for reaction set-up, then hours 2-4 (while reaction runs) student does homework etc., then hour 5 the student stops and processes the reaction).
