  • Lytle Research Group Undergraduate researchers in the Lytle group fabricate and test electrode materials for batteries, capacitors, and sensors. We electrochemically characterize the performance of these materials in order to improve the rate that they store energy and the detection limit for sensing small molecules. Each summer, 2-3 undergraduate students work in the Lytle Lab for 5-10 weeks. They learn to prepare carbon electrodes by sol-gel or vapor deposition routes, and then to

  • Andrea Munro Research GroupIn the Munro Lab, we study the synthesis, surface chemistry, stability, and properties of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals. We have studied ligand exchange and we grow nanocrystals in a variety of shape and sizes. Student researchers work in our lab during the academic year and as part of the Natural Sciences Undergraduate Summer Research Program. In a typical summer 2-3 undergraduate students work in the Munro Lab for 10 weeks. They learn to synthesize colloidal

  • Dave Song Research GroupResearch in the Song lab centers on understanding the fundamental mechanisms of energy conversion in chemistry and biology. Our primary focus revolves around the transfer of both the proton and electron in biological catalysis via a ubiquitous mechanism called proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET), underpinning key metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and nucleotide reduction. The mechanistic complexities associated with the inherently dual particle

  • Research at PLUResearch experience at PLU begins with participation in research studies as a requirement for successful completion of our introductory and social psychology courses. Further explanation of these requirements are outlined below.   Our students regularly present their research at professional meetings, such as the Western Psychological Association and the Washington State Psychological Association.  In addition, students are involved in faculty research projects in both the
