Peter Weisberg

Over the 12 years I have been on the faculty at UNR, I have actively and formally mentored high school students, undergraduates, graduate students, visiting scholars from overseas, postdoctoral fellows, and fellow faculty members. This includes 5 postdoctoral fellows and 6 visiting international scholars from China, Italy, Israel, France and Ukraine. I have mentored (as graduate committee chair and primary advisor) 14 M.S. and 5 Ph.D. students. Aside from those students for whom I have been primary advisor, I have served on over 40 graduate committees spanning at least 8 different graduate programs. I have mentored research projects of 9 undergraduate students who have obtained undergraduate research awards from NSF-EPSCoR, or UNR’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs. I have provided informal mentoring and research experience to numerous (> 40) undergraduates and postgraduates who have held temporary research positions in my lab, typically conducting field data collection in summer, or assisting with GIS, satellite image processing, or laboratory analysis during the academic year. I continue to collaborate with past mentees (at all levels) on publishing their research and assisting them in achieving their career goals.
