• Mechanical Engineering major
• Nanotechnology Studies minor
• Mentor: Dr. David Korach
“There‟s something a lot more
interesting and exciting about being in
the laboratory researching things that
nobody knows as opposed to things in
a classroom. One of my favorite
things about research is the
independence you have. When you‟re
involved with research, you feel like
you have no free time… but it‟s worth
every minute of it.”
13. McKinny Kwok „11
• Biology major
• Business minor
• University Scholars program
• Mentor: Dr. William Collins
“Doing research is an application of
what you learn in class. You have
more time to explore in research than
you would in a lab course. You pick
the research questions, you design
the experiments. It‟s a major extension
of your education.”

• Psychology major
• Truman Scholar
• Mentor: Dr. Susan Scheckel
“I would not be where I am if it wasn‟t
for the university and the faculty who
have supported me. Stony Brook
provides the seeds necessary for
academic growth; I think it has
tremendous resources for students
who are willing to explore.”
