“The summer research fellowship offered me opportunities to grow in my multidisciplinary experience. I worked with Dr. Knurr on a 3D printed device that will help chemists, physicists, doctors, and manufacturing companies. Using problem solving and critical thinking skills, we worked as a team to design computer simulations and a testing apparatus for the device.”
