Project Description

Assistants will learn basic and advanced light microscopy methods and use these techniques to create artistic photography of microscopic life.

Research Tasks: Assistants will be asked to use Image and Video Processing software such as Adobe Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve, and NIS Elements. They will also assist with microbiological sample preparation.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Passion for imaging along with willingness to learn and ability to balance time to work on the project while taking classes and managing other responsibilities and social activities.

Mentoring Philosophy

Research today is largely a team effort. My undergraduate mentoring approach embraces a group mentoring approach where undergraduates are not only mentored by me, but also postdoctoral fellows, Ph.D. students, and senior undergraduates.
