The physics major will spend six months as a science communications fellow for the National Cancer Institute.
A team of Haverford College researchers—which includes Assistant Professor of Computer Science Sorelle Friedler, Associate Professor of Chemistry Alexander Norquist, Associate Professor of Chemistry Joshua Schrier, and several student researchers—published a cover story in Nature on using unpublished "dark reactions" to create a machine-learning algorithm that is able to predict reaction successes or failures with greater accuracy than human intuition.
Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
