Undergraduate Research

Faculty Research Database

Use the system below to search for potential faculty mentors and their research interests by keywords, campus, college/school, and/or department. This will help you identify possibilities, it is NOT a job listing.

Remember, you are not in this alone! Every step of the way, the Office of Undergraduate Research is here to help. If you haven't already done so, please check out our Get Started page for workshops, research consultations, resources, and more!

  • Before you start, think through your interests and identify some areas and topics you might like to explore. These will be the keywords and phrases you will use for searching. Review our research interests worksheet for help with this.
  • Search by campus and keyword/general topic instead of the department of your major. WHY? Many research interests cross disciplines (such as psychology and public health; history and political science; or science, technology, and medicine)
  • Use partial words for keyword searches. Example: "biol" rather than "biology" will pull up  both "biology" and "biological."
  • Be open to departments that are not your own.
    • YES, you can work with a faculty researcher in a different department/school/college - this happens a lot!
    • YES, you can do research outside of your major. Your project can be a completely different topic, field of study, or area of interest than your major and/or career goals. Now is your chance to explore. Get curious!
    • YES, you can work with faculty at the School of Medicine.

Submit your interest and readiness to get involved in HPEB by completing the corresponding online form below. You will be notified directly by the faculty after reviewing your application. Please be patient -  this can take a few weeks.

  • Health Promotion, Education, & Behavior (HPEB)
    • HPEB student research applications are only reviewed during the Fall and Spring semesters. No summer applications accepted. 
    • To complete the application, you will need to upload your resume/CV AND a writing sample.
      • Help with a resume/CV can be found through the Career Center
      • The writing sample is meant to show the strength of your written communication skills (content, grammar, spelling, and punctuation). Any paper that you have written for a class (or lab report, essay, etc.) would be appropriate as a sample. Pick the paper that is the strongest representation of your writing skills.? It does not have to be a paper with a health-related focus.

The University of South Carolina has a wide variety of classroom and research experiences available for students interested in the structure and function of the nervous system. Faculty from across campus are available to mentor undergraduates, providing a truly interdisciplinary experience for those participating in the Neuroscience Program.

Students looking to engage in research with a faculty member from the College of Nursing must first attend a Getting Started in Research Workshop or consultation.

After attending, submit your interest and readiness to get involved in Nursing research by completing this form. Completed forms will be automatically sent to a Sponsored Awards Coordinator who will follow up with next steps.

 

For Faculty and Staff:

Please email our@sc.edu directly to be added to the system or to update/edit your entry. Include weblinks, research topics/keywords, and any other information you would like provided for students.

Fillo, Jennifer jfillo@mailbox.sc.edu Columbia Health Promotion Education and Behavior Work in the lab focuses on examining the reciprocal relations among close relationships (e.g., family, friends, romantic partners), stress, and substance use. Using a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods, studies in the lab build upon existing knowledge of interpersonal processes and social influences on health behavior, and work toward the development of new measures and ways of leveraging these close relationship influences to improve health (e.g., how to use spouses/partners to help their loved one reduce problematic alcohol use). Additionally, we work with military populations to examine the influence of service-related stress and trauma on the health and well-being of service members/veterans and their romantic partners.

Kubinak, Jason Jason.Kubinak@uscmed.sc.edu School of Medicine - Columbia Pathology Microbiology and Immunology Our lab is involved in research that deals with understanding the physiological consequences of host-microbe interactions. Specific interests include (1) characterizing how mucosal humoral immunity regulates host-microbiome interactions, (2) understanding the role of B-cell-intrinsic antigen presentation on gut health, and (3) exploring how microbes regulate gut biochemistry and gluten sensitivity "Undergraduate students interested in gaining laboratory experience in basic microbiological, immunological, and bioinformatic techniques are encouraged to send an email to Dr. Kubinak expressing their interest. Due to the time/effort it takes to train students, we are very selective about who enters our lab. An ideal candidate for a position in our lab would have the following qualities: (1) punctual and goal-oriented, (2) prior experience or aptitude (as demonstrated by grades in relevant coursework) in the areas of evolutionary genetics, immunology, or microbial pathogenesis, (3) a desire to spend 1-2 years in a lab focused on a long-term project, and (4) someone that will fit into a fast-paced and dynamic work environment. Available slots are limited so please make your pitch to Dr. Kubinak a good one! He get's a lot of emails. ***Work in our lab would require a car as we are located on the School of Medicine campus*** Preferred method of contact is via email Medicine Kubinak, Jason

Lee, Junsoo junsoo.lee@sc.edu Columbia Mechanical Engineering 1. Control Theory Fundamental study of stability analysis and control synthesis for dynamical systems. Interested topics include but are not limited to: finite time stabilization; information theory; optimal control; stochastic control; network control. 2. Data Driven Control In practice, we do not have full knowledge of our system. How can we complement this lack of knowledge with the data we have. Topics include but are not limited to: dynamic sensing; reinforcement learning control; dynamic data driven application systems; sampled dynamics. 3. Multi-agent Systems Instead of performing the mission with one agent, we can use multiple but small agents to accomplish the mission. Topics include but are not limited to: distributed control; graph topology; cooperative control; swarm dynamics and control. 4. Active Structural Control Passive control architecture was traditionally used in structural control for missions such as vibration mitigation, impact dissipation, etc. However, we can use active structural control to actively react to the surrounding environment. Topics include but are not limited to: high rate active structural control; fault tolerant control; disaster resilience. Engineering and Computing Lee, Junsoo

Arjmandi, Meisam meisam@mailbox.sc.edu Columbia Communication Sciences and Disorders Dr. Arjmandi is the Director of Translational Auditory Neuroscience Lab in the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina. Research in his lab falls under the broad umbrella of the neuroscience of human communication and hearing impairment. Hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders and is associated with lower quality of life for social interactions and scholastic achievement. Dr. Arjmandi's research combines behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging techniques to systematically investigate the mechanisms and factors influencing the auditory, speech, and language development in individuals with typical, impaired, and electric hearing (i.e., cochlear implant device). The goal is to translate the findings into clinical practice for developing improved diagnostic tools and personalized interventions and treatments for individuals with hearing impairment. **Hours can be scheduled around your classes and other commitments. A commitment of approximately 8-10 hrs/wk (min: 5, max: 20) for at least two semesters is required. Public Health Mind and Brain, Institute Arjmandi, Meisam
