Science Faculty Research Interests
From atmospheric particles to the human mind, footprints that reveal our evolutionary past, to molecular signatures that determine our future, join our science faculty on their journeys of discovery.
Engaging in guided research projects, students have opportunities to learn cutting edge theoretical and practical skills, while exploring interests in human physiology, evolution, microbiology, environmental chemistry, computational modeling, and more. Below you can find our faculty members' current research topics.
