Course Research Projects


 
During the research sections students will carry out small research projects. This year's projects focus on living micro and nano particles in air, snow, ice and water, and nano-particles produced by living cells themselves. Please consult the listed project advisor for detailed project descriptions and choose a project in which you would like to be involved in.
