I am delighted to announce that Apul Research Lab is moving to University of Maine this summer. This new chapter means a bitter farewell to the vibrant, positive and supportive faculty members, student body, and staff at University of Massachusetts Lowell. I am grateful for all the support from the UMass Lowell Riverhawks.

UMaine is the flagship public university of the state of Maine. The University is one of the only few land, sea, and space grant institutions that enables its engagement with the local communities. The motto of the University is "Dirigo (Latin)" meaning "I guide". And I look forward to becoming a member of the UMaine Black Bear Nation.
