Undergraduate Students

The Srivastava Lab welcomes undergraduate researchers without prior research experience or specialized knowledge in a specific field. That said, research can be demanding, and our work often involves exploring untested ideas, which may take time to yield results, if they do at all. For this reason, successful undergraduate researchers tend to be self-driven, curious, eager to learn, open to setbacks, and able to dedicate sufficient time to their projects. Additionally, all members are expected to contribute positively to the lab environment and treat others with respect, as these values are central to our work culture. We are constantly recruiting undergraduate students from different majors at TTU (Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Biological Sciences, Chemistry). More information can be found below.

Guidance and Success Stories from Current Undergraduate Researchers. To support incoming students, current undergraduate researcher Isabella Vasquez created a set of practical tips based on her experience in the Srivastava Lab. These tips cover essential skills such as time management, scientific reading, lab notebook practices, and adaptability in research. Her slides also share her personal research milestones and achievements, illustrating the types of opportunities that motivated undergraduates in our lab can pursue.
