Undergraduate researchers are very important and dynamic contributors to the Graham Group. Most come through Princeton’s EEB department and conduct senior thesis research with us, unless noted otherwise below. Exceptions to the EEB thesis student “rule” include thesis students from other departments as well as wonderful High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI) interns and our amazing part-time research assistants! WordPress causes us grief when trying to paste photos on this page, so we just include a photo of the outstanding 2025 team, but many of the undergraduate researchers are represented in our Gallery.
Our undergraduate alumni have gone on to Ph.D. programs, research assistantships, medical school, vet school, the biotech industry, Wall Street, environmental policy think tanks, and even the Olympics!
