Dear all,
We are very pleased to announce the recipients of the 2019 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
