There are currently 61 students enrolled in the NRESS Ph.D program, making NRESS one of the largest Ph.D. programs at UNH. Students are in varying stages of their doctoral studies, from first year to late candidacy, and the degree path (NRES or EES) is also noted below for each student. Some student listings are linked to profile pages, which include a description of the research, awards, presentations and publications, and other related links. Meet and explore NRESS students and their research!
