CEINT Research Site: Lowry Lab, Carnegie Mellon University

Being a student from a small liberal arts college, the CEINT REU program at Carnegie Mellon gave me an opportunity to work at a large, research-based university. It was great to be able to interact with a diverse lab group where everyone had a variety of backgrounds and strengths. The experience definitely reinforced my plans to attend graduate school.

Career Impacts and Plans

CEINT has had a significant impact on my field of interest. Though I've always been interested in environmental science, after my summer at Carnegie Mellon I've decided to apply to environmental engineering programs for graduate school.
