Mentorship lies at the core of my pedagogy, and I welcome opportunities to work with students on independent research projects. I have worked with several of my previous students, often across their entire undergraduate career, to assist them with research papers that have gone on to win competitive prizes. To the right is a sample of these students and their projects.
