DLC UROP Coordinators List

Every department, lab & center (DLC) has a designated faculty member or academic professional who serves as the department’s UROP liaison.

Coordinators interpret departmental requirements, ensuring the academic rigor & research value in UROP projects, and clarify policies/ procedures for departmental review. Their role includes review of submitted student UROP applications, examining project descriptions & financial requests, and determining project appropriateness for departmental approval before forwarding to UROP staff for final review.

Below you will find names and contact information for our current DLC UROP Coordinators.
