Undergraduate Research

Students interested in undergraduate research in the Orive lab are encouraged to contact me directly: morive@ku.edu

Past undergraduate researchers in my lab have developed theoretical models, written and run simulation programs, and carried out various types of numerical analyses of models and data. Students have come from Biology and from Mathematics, and several have completed honors projects in the lab.

You can get a sense of the variety of undergraduate student projects by reading about current and past undergraduate researchers here.
