Dear all,
We are very pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 WPI PhD Global Research Experience award. Five PhD students were selected to receive funding, allowing them to engage in a global project that supports their dissertation work, as well as the research themes of the WPI strategic plan.
Congratulations to all of these awardees and their advisors!
Thank you to the selection committee for their work in choosing these applicants:
Michael McGrade, Graduate Admissions
Rory Flinn, Graduate Studies
Douglas Petkie, Physics
Nima Rahbar, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Amy Zeng, Foisie Business School
If you know of others that would benefit from this type of opportunity, the application will reopen in Fall 2018 for Summer 2019 travel.
Best wishes,
Terri A. Camesano
