CNSE Selects 22 Students for Summer Internship Program

Albany, NY | Posted on May 24th, 2007

Chosen from a highly competitive pool of applicants, the students have compiled an average GPA of 3.50 and have backgrounds in the physical, chemical and biological sciences and engineering. They belong to colleges and universities from across the country, including the University of Maryland, Tulane University, University of Texas at Austin, Cornell University, George Washington University, and several State University of New York ("SUNY") schools, including Albany, Binghamton, Geneseo, New Paltz and SUNY IT. They also join from international institutions such as the University of Waterloo in Canada and St. Petersburg State Polytechnical Institute in Russia.

The program, which provides hands-on experience to qualified undergraduate students who wish to pursue careers in nanosciences, nanoengineering and the nanotechnology industry, runs from June 4 through August 10 at CNSE, ranked by Small Times magazine as the nation's number one college for nanotechnology and microtechnology.

Susan Herbst, Provost and Officer in Charge at the University at Albany, said, "It is a distinct pleasure to welcome these outstanding students to the University at Albany, where they have the opportunity to participate in the prestigious Summer Internship Program at our world-class College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. The keen competition for these highly regarded internships among some of the best and brightest young scientific minds from the United States and abroad is testament to CNSEＴ growing recognition as a global leader in education related to nanoscale science and engineering."

"We congratulate the students selected to participate in the UAlbany NanoCollegeＴ 2007 Summer Internship Program, for which competition becomes more intense each year," said Dr. Alain E. Kaloyeros, vice president and chief administrative officer of CNSE. "We are confident that the students will enjoy a unique and enlightening experience through their engagement with CNSEＴ world-class educational programs, first-rate faculty and unparalleled facilities, as well as the opportunity to network with leading global companies and industry experts at CNSE's Albany NanoTech complex."

The 10-week Summer Internship Program offers exposure to CNSE faculty experts and leading industrial researchers through weekly seminars and public presentations of research results. Each intern will be involved with one or more CNSE/industrial-partnered research programs, and work closely with CNSE faculty, staff, post-doctoral researchers and graduate students during the course of their work. The capstone of the internship program is a public poster session showcasing each intern's summer research project.
