Comments from the Faculty Mentor, Dr. Christopher Kassotis
"One of the things that has always impressed me most about Kyle is how intentional he is. Kyle is extraordinarily thoughtful, incredibly detail-oriented, and one of the strongest scientific writers I've had the privilege to mentor. I am very lucky to have had him join our lab group!"
Comments from the Department Chair, Dr. Sokol Todi
"Kyle, unsurprisingly, knocked it out of the park! Kyle's defense demonstrated excellent mastery of the field, deep knowledge of the current literature, and sincere appreciation of where science is moving in the near future."
