Ronald was very active as a student. He conducted research on campus on Identification of Novel CTX-M Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamases in Escherichia coli Clinical Isolates which he presented at the CSTEP Annual Conference in 2008.

During that same year, he was honored for his research presentation at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students. (ABRCMS)
