Faculty Mentors

The following faculty are participants in the QC Undergraduate Summer Research Program 2022.

If you’d like to participate in the USRP22, your advisor must be on this list. Please have your advisor contact us at QCUndergraduateResearch@qc.cuny.edu for further information, or to join the Program. Feel free to contact one or more of the below faculty, if you wish, each having a separate tab containing their contact information. Please bear in mind that some faculty have requirements; these are written in their tabs. Your emails should contain proper salutations and valedictions (greetings and endings), and they should be written professionally and concisely, in complete sentences with proper grammar and punctuation. In your initial communications with faculty, please try to describe:

  1. your name, research and coursework background, and any information that’s relevant to the mentor. For instance, a mentor may wish to know if you’ve taken a specific course, or learned a specific programming language. These may be listed on their website, and/or in the blurb in the their tab on this page;
  2. how much time you’re willing and able to dedicate to research, and when you’d like to work with your mentor (during semesters, only during summers, etc.); and,
  3. why you’re interested in this research. It would be helpful to give faculty an idea of your long-term plans, if you have any. These might include graduate school, medical school, work immediately after leaving Queens College, etc.
