IMMERSE Publications

One of the primary goals of the IMMERSE program is that undergraduate students participate in significant research . The demonstration of this goal is research that results in publications in scientific journals and conferences. This page contains a list of publications produced through the IMMERSE program. The undergraduate students are shown in red.
