Undergraduate Research is an exciting way to round out your education at Washington University and apply principles that you have been studying in a novel and practical way. Many of your classmates are already active participants, gaining valuable experience assisting the faculty on exciting cutting-edge research projects. Follow the links below to see the details of their work. If you are interested in participating in these projects or ones like them, contact the professor directly. New projects are also available for students interested in undergraduate research. Also, browse through the finished projects to see what your classmates have done. Do not hesitate to contact the professor if you are interested in continuing their work or have ideas of your own related to these projects. All test equipment in the teaching laboratories, and in some cases specialized research facilities being used by supervising faculty, can be made available to you.
