Research Interest
Using the drop-down lists below, please select the three research groups you would most like to work in. Every effort will be made to place you in one of your prefered groups. In addition, please provide some indication of prior experience as it relates to your present interest. You may provide that information in the Statement of purpose section of this application (below).

**Note on research preferences- Seed projects are smaller scale projects usually involving a single faculty member. Selecting three seed projects as your preferences can make it difficult to place you in one of your prefered groups.
