Catharine Edith Ann Fairbairn
Associate Professor · College of Liberal Arts and Sciences · University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
⭐ I do expect to be reviewing doctoral applications in the 2024-2025 admissions cycle. Although there are a variety of opportunities for graduate engagement in my lab, I expect to have particular opportunities for students interested in technology-linked research methods development--specifically, wearable alcohol biosensor validation and development (see ongoing trial; collaborator Nigel Bosch).
