GUPTA WINS THOMAS UNDERGRAD RESEARCH MENTOR AWARD
Professor Sat Gupta, a statistician whose research interests include survey sampling and biostatistics, has received the 2024 UNCG Thomas Undergraduate Research Mentor Award in the tenured category. Dr. Gupta has mentored 9 UNCG undergraduate students on individual projects. As the principal investigator on a current 3-year NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) grant and one in 2018 – and as senior personnel on previous REU grants – he has welcomed a host of visiting student researchers to our campus. He also launched the Research Experience in Statistics for UNCG Undergraduates program and serves as a co-principal investigator on a multi-year, multi-million NSF LSAMP grant, which aims to increase the number of STEM and graduate degrees awarded to historically underrepresented groups and which includes undergraduate research mentorship as one of its core activities.
