Undergraduate Research
Students interested in undergraduate research in the Orive lab are encouraged to contact me directly via email at 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.
