Undergraduate Training

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH AT THE XU LAB

The University of California, Irvine (UCI) embraces a unique culture and environment conducive to supporting undergraduate research. The Principal Investigator (PI, Dr. Xiangmin Xu) has a long and successful track record of training undergraduate and high school students as part of his research team. Currently, in the PI’s laboratory, undergraduate students participate in the lab research and contribute to advancements of our proposed projects. The PI, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and specialists collectively train the undergraduate students in conducting laboratory research. The students have opportunities for hands-on research, to actively learn scientific concepts and methodology, to participate in bi-weekly lab meetings and faculty lectures, and to have their names on published papers. Students will gain the skills of collecting and analyzing data, writing, and giving scientific presentations. Through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) fellowship and Excellence in Research, students can receive grants and awards and present their work.
