Student Group Guidelines

For academic-year expectations, please see this document.

For summer group expectations, please see this document.

AI Use in the Student Group

At minimum, all students are expected to follow the AAS guidelines which means all plots, references, and main ideas for text must come from the author(s).

For continuing students who have already submitted a first-author manuscript (usually years-long), the AAS guidelines are sufficient.

For new students (new defined as a first-author manuscript not yet submitted), no AI use is permitted. The research tasks we agree upon are intended to build on themselves. The goal of student research is individual growth - not output. Use of AI for help with any tasks (for help with plotting, debugging, writing, references, etc) interferes with your advisors’ understanding of your grasp on material. This makes the progress in mentoring very difficult to gauge, and it removes potential interactions with your advisor that could have sparked useful discussion.

Current Group Info

I currently work with six students (5 undergraduate + 1 masters) who work on similar topics as myself, including photochemistry at early Mars, early Earth, and exoplanets.

I meet individually once per week with each student & together as a group 0.5-1x/week (academic year vs summer). At individual meetings, we discuss progress, results, and next steps together. Group meetings are generally held as a reading group.

I have worked with 20 current and past students, primarily at the undergraduate and high school level.
