On February 5, 2025, the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) at The UWI Mona welcomed Dr. Kyle Gustafson, Science Director at the Office of Naval Research in Brazil, for a productive visit focused on collaboration, innovation, and advancing research and education in the Caribbean.
Dr. Gustafson engaged with the FST team to explore potential research partnerships and toured several of the Faculty’s cutting-edge teaching and research facilities, including the crXstal Lab, Radioecological Lab, Insectary, ICENS, and the Earthquake Unit. He also delivered an insightful presentation on funding opportunities, which was well received by graduate students eager to explore new research prospects.
