Special Project Opportunity for Undergraduate Students

September 2, 2025 Posted by: Zübeyir Nursoy

If you want to do a special project in our lab in the following semester (Fall 25), please keep in mind the following:

  1. You need to talk to our graduate students and make sure you and s/he agree to work together. You need to have a supervisor and it is your responsibility to secure one. You can review their research interest and contact details via our team page.
  2. Once there is a mutual agreement, you can start working in the lab, even before the semester starts. Upon reaching an agreement with one of our graduate fellows, inform Zübeyir since he is the SP course coordinator for our lab.
  3. You need to take steps until the classes start.

Wish you a thrilling adventure in research!
