Undergraduate Research
The purpose of this page is to help undergraduates find faculty members who are looking for help on research projects. If you see a project you're interested in, click on "learn more" to find out the project details and then email the faculty member directly.
The Office of Undergraduate Research also recommends the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program as a way to get involved with undergraduate research and earn academic credit.

Sustainable Livelihoods of Artisanal Alcohol in Cabo Verde
Alcohol is a unique commodity, as it can be both a liability and asset to societies worldwide. The objective of this project is to investigate the dynamics, opportunities, and downsides associated with artisanal alcohol in the context of economic retrenchment and regeneration opportunities through cultural asset management. The interdisciplinary researchers aim to study the complexities of artisanal alcohol as a commons problem that has the potential to both empower and imperil livelihoods.

Undergraduate Research Opportunity In The Field Of Population Genetics
Population genetics deals with genetic differences within and between populations and is a part of evolutionary biology. It is used to detect genetic diseases and genetic risk factors for multifactorial diseases, understand diseases using insights obtained from genetic risk factors and treat diseases using these insights. Theoretical population genetics bridges mathematics and evolutionary biology. The corner stone of population genetics is the Kingman coalescent. Using a new calculus, fractional calculus, we introduced the modified version of Kingman coalescent, which we call fractional coalescent. In this research, you will learn how by using Kingman's coalescent and fractional coalescent we could identify and understand the forces that produce and maintain genetic variation in populations.
