The Luque Lab investigates the physical structure and ecological properties of viruses by combining mathematical and computational models in close collaboration with experimentalists. The lab is part of the Viral Information Institute (VII), the Department of Mathematics and Statistics and the Computational Science Research Center at San Diego State University.

Application Submitted to NSF GRFP | October 21, 2022
Masters student Aurora Vogel submitted an application for the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). GRFP recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who have demonstrated the potential to be high achieving scientists and engineers, early in their careers. Vogel is investigating the geometry of conical capsids (like HIV) in the Luque lab and is a prospective Ph.D. student in Mathematics.
