Anything else you'd like to add about your background / interests?

***Currently enrolled UCSD Undergraduates only***: Please complete this section:

Approximately many quarters do you have left at UCSD until you graduate?

As it takes time to train new students, and many of our projects are longer-term, we ask undergraduate students make at least a two-quarter (or one quarter + one summer) commitment to working in the lab, approx. 8-10 hrs/week. Will you be able to do this?

Yes

Maybe
