I am happy to work with students on projects at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.
Any Villanova students who would like to work with me should keep an eye on the Co-MaStER webpage each semester for when I have a project available or they can contact me directly if they have a specific project in mind.
Below are student activities/projects I have worked on (* indicates a graduate student):
