The College of Nanoscale
Science and Engineering ("CNSE") of the University at Albany is
pleased to announce that 14 New York State residents are among 17 undergraduate
students selected for participation in its prestigious Summer Internship Program.
Chosen from among a highly competitive pool of more than 120 applicants, the
students have academic backgrounds in the physical, chemical, biological or
computer sciences, mathematics or engineering. Collectively, they attend 11
colleges and universities, including the University at Albany, Binghamton University,
Cornell University, Drexel University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Villanova University, Fordham University, University of Central Florida, Stevens
Institute of Technology, and Universidad de las Americas Puebla.
CNSE's Summer Internship Program provides hands-on research experience to qualified
undergraduate students who wish to pursue careers in nanoscience, nanoengineering,
nanobioscience and the nanotechnology industry. The program begins today and
runs through August 7 at the UAlbany NanoCollege.
"We are again delighted to have selected some of the world's finest young
scientific minds for the UAlbany NanoCollege's Summer Internship Program,"
said Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros, Senior Vice President and Chief Executive Officer
of CNSE. "Through their participation in this world-class program, which
combines pioneering education with cutting-edge research, these students will
truly have a unique window into the exciting 21st century careers being enabled
by nanotechnology."
Each intern will work with one or more CNSE/industrial-partnered research programs,
and interact closely with CNSE faculty, staff, post-doctoral researchers and
graduate students. The program also offers exposure to industrial experts through
weekly seminars and public presentation of research results. The capstone of
the internship program is a public poster presentation showcasing each intern's
summer research project.
A list of participating students and their undergraduate colleges, along with
faculty mentors and research topics, is available at www.cnse.albany.edu/academic_programs/internships.html.
