Each year, Penn Arts and Sciences undergraduates present their research at the School’s Undergraduate Research Fair during Family Weekend. This year’s fair featured more than 20 College students, who are investigating topics from heart valve development to a more efficient way to control memory devices like computers. We asked a few about their projects and what the opportunity to do research as an undergraduate has meant to them.
