106 Research Reflection by Gary Perea

Faculty Mentor: Caroline T. Saouma (Chemistry, University of Utah)
I feel my experience as an undergraduate researcher has had an extremely important impact on not only my time in undergrad, but also on my future plans to attend graduate school. My research has given me the opportunity to put a lot of the knowledge I’ve acquired from my courses to practical use and helped me to connect that material to the real world. It’s also allowed me to attend national conferences and present my research to my peers in the field which was an invaluable experience for my education. My time as an undergraduate researcher is something I will look back on fondly for many years and would highly recommend to anyone pursuing a degree in science.
