Undergraduate Research and Training at the Nano- and Bio-Photonics Laboratory

Ozcan Research Lab has a long tradition of supporting undergraduate research and training at the School of Engineering. Every quarter, 20 to 25 undergraduate students join research projects in our lab, where the focus is to create new imaging, sensing and diagnostic technologies to address the immediate needs and requirements of telemedicine for especially global health challenges. Over the last 5 years, our undergraduate researchers co-authored >50 refereed journal articles and >100 conference proceedings. Here is a partial list of some of these projects and related publications, where each undergraduate researcher is highlighted in red.
