Paul Przybylowicz

Rigorous quantitative and qualitative research is an important component of academic learning in Environmental Studies. This independent learning opportunity is designed to allow advanced students to delve into real-world research with faculty who are currently engaged in specific projects. The program will help students develop vital skills in research design, data acquisition and interpretation, written and oral communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills—all of which are of particular value for students who are pursuing a graduate degree, as well as for graduates who are already in the job market.

Paul Przybylowicz conducts research on fungi. Areas of interest include: using DNA fingerprinting to identify fungi, mushroom cultivation, isolation of fungi from the environment, applications of using cultured fungi for a variety of potential uses (from extracting compounds to using the mycelium as a physical product).
