I am always interested in talking with prospective master\u2019s and Ph.D students. In the past, graduate students have conducted research within the confines of larger funded projects, as well as designed their own projects within the broad range of our research interests. With regard to graduate student support, the Biology department<\/a> offers students with tuition waivers, health insurance and a livable stipend (in the form of RAs and TAs). If you’re interested in applying to UCF <\/a>and working with me, please send me an email (fedorka@ucf.edu) discussing your research interests.
