MILES
hosted 6 undergraduates to conduct research emphasizing free radical
and oxidative processes. Our SURP students came from several top notch
institutions throughout the United States. Each student
will have a faculty advisor and the majority of the students will also
have a MILES Ph.D. student as a mentor. The 2008 MILES SURP students,
their faculty advisor, their field of study, and their research activies
is listed below: |
