Where did you intern? What was your role there?
My internship was with the NASA MIRO CRE2DO Center at FIU, under the guidance of Cheng-Yu Lai, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering. My internship role as an undergraduate student researcher was to work on a project focused on nanomaterials, which is one of my strong research interests.
How did you get your internship?
While at FIU, I have been interested in attending graduate school to further my education as an engineer. My goal is to develop the necessary research skills that can guide me through a successful career in academia or industry. As my interest in nanomaterials resonates with research areas in the materials science and engineering area at FIU, I contacted the graduate program director, Daniela Radu, and discussed my options for graduate school in materials science and engineering.
