In the Classroom and the Laboratory
腦瞳憫ies engage in cutting-edge research projects that push the boundaries of what we know and uncover new insights across various fields. In the natural sciences, students and faculty work together to research new ideas in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and more.
腦瞳憫 Research Reactor
The 腦瞳憫 Research Reactor was established in 1968 and is the only reactor operated primarily by undergraduates. At any given time, there are approximately 40 students licensed to operate the 腦瞳憫 reactor. In addition to operating the reactor, many students serve as senior staff and in supervisory positions.
