Interested Undergraduate 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, which will require enrolling in research credits over the summer. |
The Stoppel Lab will accept motivated, and self-driven undergraduate students for thesis projects and course credit as described here. Interested students should fill out an application. Preference will be given to undergraduate students in the Chemical Engineering department looking to complete their thesis requirements.
Want to work in the lab over the summer as an undergraduate researcher? Check out UF's SURF Program (Summer Undergraduate Research at Florida) which includes a $5000 stipend! |
