Student researchers can register for independent study, or TAS Research Honors (for 2 semester or longer projects). Students who participate in the Research Honors Program are expected to make oral and\/or poster presentations of their research at the TAS Student Research Symposium held every April. Presentations by research students at off-campus venues are strongly encouraged, as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Student Research Symposium<\/h3>\n<p>Since 2002 we have hosted the undergraduate Student Research Symposium where students present posters and talks describing their undergraduate research, scholarship and creative activities performed under the supervision of Ramapo College faculty members. The Student Research Symposium (SRS) is a full day event and is open to everyone on campus.<\/p>\n<p>It is the venue for TAS research students to showcase their research. Students can present their research in oral and\/or poster formats. Although student research is often conducted within the TAS Research Honors program, students may also present research conducted for class projects or independent studies.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"center\"><\/h2>\n<h2 align=\"center\">Celebrating Faculty-Student Scholarship<\/h2>\n<h4 align=\"center\">Friends Hall<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">April 9th, 2025 (11:00 AM &#8211; 4:30 PM)<\/p>\n<div class=\"infoBox col-sm-12 col-lg-12  maroonBox\"><div class=\"boxContent\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfma1_GdwQdIN9LFHSfzPtTYqnxUPk8lUUCMBXYwmq-vIOiNQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TAS Research Showcase Registration<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"infoBox col-sm-12 col-lg-12 \"><div class=\"boxContent\">\n<h4 align=\"center\">Dr. Arthur Felix Memorial Lecture<\/h4>\n<h4 align=\"center\">Keynote Speaker:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Dr. Emma Murray &#8217;14, PhD<\/strong><br \/>\nEmma earned her undergraduate degree in Bioinformatics from Ramapo College of New Jersey. She obtained her PhD in Biomedical Science at Temple University in Philadelphia with John Elrod, studying mechanisms of necrotic cell death in heart failure. She then moved to co-found a division of a health start-up, Rajant Health, focused on creating ways to collect and visualize omics data accurately. At Rajant Health, she leads the development and productization of a bioinformatics tool for researchers that requires no coding skills.<\/p>\n<p>Title: Life of a Researcher: Warning! Zigs and Zags Ahead<\/p>\n<p>Summary: Dr. Murray&#8217;s talk will focus on her personal journey of becoming and embodying being a researcher, from the formative questions that guided her along the way, to the key personal and academic interests that sparked surprising twists and turns. This discussion will touch upon her academic forays into research, mentioning the scientific work done at Ramapo as an undergraduate and the studies performed during her doctorate research at Temple University. She will cover some of the challenges she faced throughout her experiences, and draw connections to the unique landscape young STEM researchers face today as they prepare to venture out into the world. Most of all, she will focus on the opportunities presented in life to delve deeper into questions in search of truth, and how her decisions when faced with such quandaries have helped shape her outlook on her professional career both now and into the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4219 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-300x182.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"548\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-300x182.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-1024x620.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-768x465.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-100x61.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-152x92.jpeg 152w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568-165x100.jpeg 165w, https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/tas\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/04\/IMG_5568.jpeg 1179w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 548px) 100vw, 548px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h3>Contacts:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sarah Carberry \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>Phone: (201) 684-7759;\u00a0E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:sbolton@ramapo.edu\">sbolton@ramapo.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jay Carreon \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>Phone: (201) 684-7710;\u00a0E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:jcarreon@ramapo.edu\">jcarreon@ramapo.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yan Xu \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>Phone: (201) 684-6227;\u00a0E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:yxu@ramapo.edu\">yxu@ramapo.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ash Stuart \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Phone: (201) 684-6222; E-mail: <a href=\"mailto:astuart@ramapo.edu\">astuart@ramapo.edu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Loraine Tan \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong><span style=\"line-height: 1.5\">Phone: (201) 684-7711;\u00a0E-mail:<\/span><a style=\"line-height: 1.5\" href=\"mailto:%20ltan@ramapo.edu\"> ltan@ramapo.edu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students in the School of Theoretical and Applied Science have opportunities to conduct research with faculty mentors in every discipline represented in the School.
