But cutting-edge research is not limited to the University’s Nobel Prize-winners or top-flight faculty—many undergrads are pursuing high-level scientific research every day. This week, the Crimson takes a look at five students who are tackling topics ranging from sustainable development in the Middle East to flying robotic insects...
