Who is your PI? –<\/strong> Sean Burrows<\/p>\n

Do you have a Graduate Student\/Post-Doc Mentor? –<\/strong> Kyle Almlie<\/p>\n

How did you learn about the position? –\u00a0<\/strong>I got into the research with Dr.Burrows by volunteering, which I got to know about from my adviser, to help set up his lab when he first became a faculty in OSU. I was interested in the research he was going to conduct (currently conducting) and I asked whether he needed any undergraduate researchers in his lab.<\/p>\n

Why did you get into Undergraduate Research? –\u00a0<\/strong>To gain knowledge and have first hand experience in the analytical and spectroscopy field of chemistry. Moreover, I had a some spare time left and did not wanted to waste it.<\/p>\n

What advice might you have for other Undergraduate students thinking of pursuing research or just getting started? –\u00a0<\/strong>Being an undergraduate researcher is very fun and rewarding. I get to do cool experiments on my own and also shadow the graduate students in conducting much higher level experiments.\u00a0 What I think they should expect is depending on the field of research, always remember the basics of general chemistry such as finding the moles and concentration of a substance . Also, don’t be too picky about what the research is about but just dive into it and gain the experience and knowledge regarding the research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
