On this page, you can find all of the projects we have been working on at the lab (last updated: May 2024). We recommend you read through each of these projects to see which best fits your interests.

If you are interested in joining the lab, please message either of the current co-directors (located on the About page).

As of right now (summer 2024), we will add you to a list of prospective members who we will email back in the fall with an application link. From there, you can apply to whichever team you’re most interested in, and we will see if it’s a good fit!
