Mentoring Philosophy I have mentored over 50 undergraduate students in the last 8 years. I am a previous undergraduate researcher myself. We create a supportive environment where students have the opportunity to learn from other undergraduate and graduate students, as well as postdocs and researchers. We implement a "buddy system" to help you get used to the lab environment and ensure you are engaged in fun things. Research is different to classes, so we are not trying to trick or grade you, so plenty of questions and learning from mistakes is strongly encouraged.
