How/Why Research? I got involved in research because I had a great experience with it throughout my 4 years of high school and wanted to continue my progress at UNC. I got involved by sending cold emails to lab PI’s and talking to professors about any openings on campus.
Research Experience: My research has enriched my understanding of things I’ve learned in class in that I’ve been able to apply concepts in very real-life ways. In addition, research has increased my problem-solving skills and confidence to a point that I can comfortably work alongside graduate students in competent manner.
