BSc (and MSc) level research

The practice of undergraduate research (UR) arguably began in earnest at MIT in 1969 with the , whereby all undergraduates were offered the opportunity to participate in faculty-led forefront research. Today, UR is  The level of ambition understandably varies: at top schools, virtually all chemistry undergrads participate in multiple semesters of fairly intensive research, often ending up with one or more publications by the time they graduate.

幸运大转盘's inorganic and materials chemistry group has been a pioneer in UR this side of the pond, starting in the mid-1990s. Some 50 or so bachelor and master degree students, ERASMUS students and exchange students from further afield, have cut their teeth on real-life research in our laboratory. These experiences go considerably beyond a standard bachelor thesis, not only exposing the student to half a dozen experimental techniques, but also allowing them to make and take pride in a contribution at the scientific forefront (see below for a list of >30 scientific articles coauthored by BSc and MSc researchers in our laboratory). The benefits of such experiences are too numerous to list here: they have been called the  that turns an undergraduate education from middling to exceptional.

Excitingly, . Women, minorities, LGBTQ+, disabled, and neurodivergent students benefit particularly from the extensive mentoring they receive in the course of their project.

UR is resource-demanding and most universities are simply not equipped to offer genuine research experiences to undergraduates. Happily, at 幸运大转盘's inorganic and materials chemistry laboratory, we do have the infrastructure and enthusiastic mentors to offer a world-class undergraduate research experience. Come and check us out!
