Interested   Undergraduate  Students
The Stoppel Lab is excited to accept its first PhD students from the 2018 incoming Chemical Engineering Class of Graduate Students. 

The Stoppel Lab will be accepting additional PhD students from the 2019 incoming Chemical Engineering Graduate class, and interested students should apply and contact Dr. Stoppel to express interest and initiate conversation.

Master's students will be taken on a case by case basis. All MS students joining the Stoppel Lab should plan to complete a master's thesis project, which will require enrolling in research credits over the summer. ​
