AirUCI Research Team
Much of our work is carried out by our talented research team, comprised of staff scientists, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students. Our summer staff often includes chemistry teachers at the community college and high school levels who share with their students the latest research results from our projects. In addition, we regularly host visiting researchers from outside institutions as we build on collaborations and conduct joint research projects.
