Rose Tabares-Tarquinio (Class of 2022) and Professor Huang presenting research on strong gravitational lensing at CARD Day 2022
Our faculty engages in cutting-edge, award-winning research. Under this research, students gain hands-on experience though research opportunities and summer research internships in state-of-the-art labs and world-class observatories.
Those interested in doing a senior thesis should connect with their desired faculty advisor before fall semester begins.
