Celebrating Undergraduate Researchers at Loyola
Muhammad Javed, Jonah Goldberg-Finkelstein, Malec Tarabein, and Abigal Daman present their work as part of the 2025 Undergraduate Summer Research Experience (USRE).

A new photo released by Loyola University Chicago congratulates four exceptional students—Muhammad Javed, Jonah Goldberg-Finkelstein, Malec Tarabein, and Abigal Daman—for presenting their work as part of the 2025 Undergraduate Summer Research Experience (USRE).
As part of the CAS USRE program, these first- and second-year students spent four weeks working closely with faculty mentors on hands-on research projects. Their work explored topics such as web privacy, using human behavior to help robots understand language, and generating both pristine and manipulated biological images to support computer-aided scientific research. The students were mentored by Drs. George Thiruvathukal, Daniel Moreira, and Eric Chan-Tin.
The USRE program gives early undergraduate students the opportunity to dive into research in the sciences, humanities, and social sciences. Participants are paired with faculty and guided through the research process from start to finish.
