I have mentored over 30 undergraduate research students since I joined Ashland University in 1999.  Much of our work has been funded by the National Eye Institute since 2001, with further support from the University.  My research students head off to diverse careers, as you can see below, and have the chance to present their work here at Ashland and at regional and national meetings.
