Student Collaborations

Phil usually works with an undergraduate student each summer through the NSF's Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at NAU/Lowell. The work usually leads to at least one published paper with the student, plus attendance at a meeting by the student to present our results. Students that have worked with Phil in Flagstaff:
