The Bletz Lab

I seek to prepare students to be innovate thinkers and effective problem solvers through teaching and mentorship. I enjoy mentoring students and see mentorship as being an active participant in the academic, professional, and personal development of undergraduate and graduate students. I am committed to embodying a role model for students founded in professionalism, integrity, compassion, and a thirst for discovery.
