Research and Creative Activity Directory
Congratulations on finding the Research and Creative Activity Directory! The purpose of this directory is to provide you with a listing of potential research/creative activity opportunities that you may search by department and the semester that you would like to work.
You may search by department and date. For example, if you are looking for a chemistry project for summer 2022, type 'summer 2022 chemistry' into the search bar.
Once you identify a potential project, send an email of interest to the faculty member listed. In the email, you should introduce yourself and tell the potential faculty mentor what you would like to do and when (spring/summer/fall semester). The faculty mentor will let you know about the next steps to apply to work on the project. Please note that contacting a faculty mentor from this data base is not a guarantee that you will work with them.

TI actively leverage statistical models to achieve classification and prediction in various types of data, including longitudinal, dependent time series, and even text data. This allows me to make accurate predictions. Some of my ongoing projects are listed on my webpage: https://deepbas.io/. Feel free to email me to discuss these projects, other related ideas, or potential collaborations. |

I am open to working with students interested in independent or directed research in the areas of environmental inequality broadly and environmental racism more specifically, as well how climate change is represented is literature and popular culture. |

My lab looks at the biochemistry of RNA and DNA. We use fluorescent techniques to explore how RNA and DNA interact with metal ions and proteins in order to develop assays for human disease. We also look at chemistry of nucleotides and nucleic acids under early Earth conditions to study the origin of life on this planet. |
