Sustainable Livelihoods of Artisanal Alcohol in Cabo Verde
Alcohol is a unique commodity, as it can be both a liability and asset to societies worldwide. The objective of this project is to investigate the dynamics, opportunities, and downsides associated with artisanal alcohol in the context of economic retrenchment and regeneration opportunities through cultural asset management. The interdisciplinary researchers aim to study the complexities of artisanal alcohol as a commons problem that has the potential to both empower and imperil livelihoods.

Understanding the Complete Spectrum of the Left-Wing and Environmental Movement: A Data Driven Approach
This research project aims to add to the understanding surrounding the degree and nature of terrorism, nonterrorist criminal activities, pre-incident behaviors, and failed/foiled plots perpetrated by those motivated by a left-wing and environmental ideology in the United States. More specifically, this project will utilize secondary sources (e.g., court records, media reports) to assess the modus operandi of left-wing and environmental violent extremists with a specific focus on indicators of malevolent creativity & innovation and criminal expertise.

Association of Hospital Unit Team Virtuousness Scores with Eight Hospital Unit Measures
This ongoing study is exploring the relationships between hospital unit team virtuousness scores and eight hospital unit measures. Team virtuousness refers to a team climate in which virtues and character strengths are practiced, supported, and encouraged.
Students who work on this study will help manage implementation of an online team virtuousness questionnaire and gather hospital unit data. A statistician will analyze the data to determine any associations between hospital unit team virtuousness scores and unit measures of quality of patient care, patient satisfaction, and unit staff engagement and turnover.

Undergraduate Research Opportunity In The Field Of Population Genetics
Population genetics deals with genetic differences within and between populations and is a part of evolutionary biology. It is used to detect genetic diseases and genetic risk factors for multifactorial diseases, understand diseases using insights obtained from genetic risk factors and treat diseases using these insights. Theoretical population genetics bridges mathematics and evolutionary biology. The corner stone of population genetics is the Kingman coalescent. Using a new calculus, fractional calculus, we introduced the modified version of Kingman coalescent, which we call fractional coalescent. In this research, you will learn how by using Kingman's coalescent and fractional coalescent we could identify and understand the forces that produce and maintain genetic variation in populations.
