Dr. Robert van Woesik
Bio
Dr. van Woesik has been mentoring undergraduate students since 1994. He has published with undergraduate students on 5 occasions (see below). For all five publications the undergraduate students were the first authors. These publications all took considerable time and mentoring, emphasizing the significant role that undergraduate students play in van Woesik's lab; undergraduate are not merely regarded as the work-horses for graduate students.
