Graduate students

The MASS laboratory works with graduate students from around the country and in the Chicago area. We mentor graduate students on MASS-led projects. We also provide advice to graduate students on non-led MASS projects or assist with soil characterization and analyses on their projects. Please contact Bryant to discuss MASS lab collaboration opportunities.
