International Research Exposure
In the Summer of 2015, we initiated an international summer student research exposure initiative.
Students from PESIT University, Bangalore India have been immersed in various research labs across Arizona State University’s School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering. These students experience an 8 week research immersion. This program has already been extremely successful in providing interdisciplinary research and cultural exposure.
