How to get involved
Unfortunately, we are between grants and are not hiring new undergraduate research assistants until December 2025 at the earliest.
That said, to learn more about our work and prepare to apply, you could do any of the following:
Attend Group Meetings
All are welcome to come! You can find information here.
Read Key Publications
Reading these publications will help to familiarize yourself with ongoing work.
Visit with Prof. Charles
Feel free to stop by during office hours or set up an appointment to speak with Prof. Charles (skcharles@byu.edu).
Learn Relevant Coding Skills
Most of our work involves coding, usually in Matlab. Taking CS 110 to learn general coding skills and/or taking this short Matlab Onramp course (or other related tutorials) to learn Matlab-specific skills are great ways to gain experience.
Take Research-related Courses
Taking these courses is not required for joining the lab, but much of our work is based on what is learned in these courses.
