Student Research

Student research is often the highlight of an undergraduate or graduate degree and below are several stories about student research at TAMIU.  We would like to post other examples of student research here at TAMIU and are asking any interested students and mentors to contact Zoila Franco-Hinojosa about having your research experience made available on this website to encourage other students to become involved with research.  We would like to take a picture of the student with their mentor and have the student write a 1-3 paragraph summary of their research project and the impact that the research experience made on them.
