Getting an early start on college-level research usually means joining a lab after a few weeks on campus. But Sean O’Connor ’26 was invited to join a Bucknell research team while still in high school. While visiting campus on Admitted Student Day as a high school senior from Miller Place, N.Y., O’Connor attended a mock class with Professor Felipe Perrone, computer science, who invited him to join his research group. “I thought he was kidding at first,” O’Connor says. “But when I arrived on campus to start classes, he asked me to join a research meeting, and I’ve been working with him ever since.”
