Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) requires all its undergraduate students to complete a research-based senior thesis. In this talk we will provide insight into several projects in the Emmert lab at WPI, in which these senior-thesis students help to develop more sustainable methods in the areas of homogeneous catalysis and rare earth recycling. The influence of CENTC's mission on project choice and progress will be addressed. Furthermore, a collaborative inter-university effort which is inspired by the CENTC monthly videoconferences will be presented as an opportunity for early-career faculty and their groups to network and discuss research.
