Research Intensive Summer Experience (RISE) at Rutgers

We are happy to announce that both Steven Clark and Sabrina Appel have successfully defended their Ph.D. in the Rutgers physics department. These two Physics and Astronomy REU participants crossed the finish line in their race to their PhD within 30 minutes of each other! We are always glad to see our Super Grads and Alumni prosper!  

We want to congratulate the RISE 2022 scholar, Joy Akeju, for their recent publication in GBE. Their article can be found HERE. 

We want to congratulate the RISE 2023 scholar Chase Bebo for his continuing his work as a full-time research technician under the guidance of Abhishek Roychowdhury from Navajo Technical University in conjunction with Sean Kinney from Rutgers University. We wish him the best as he finishes up his two prospective manuscripts before advancing into graduate school.

We want to congratulate Kirsten on her acceptance and participation in the inaugural year of the Quad Fellowship program. Her remarks on the program truly say it all...

The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the School of Graduate Studies is delighted to highlight some recent accomplishments of Research Intensive Summer Experience (RISE) alum.

Congratulations to the following RISE Scholars:

On Friday, July 22nd, RISE held our Mini-Symposium where our 2022 scholars participated in 5 Minute Presentations. The Mini-Symposium highlighted the scholarship and research of the undergraduate participants of several cooperating summer programs. Rutgers faculty mentors, often assisted by post-doctoral fellows, graduate students, research staff or other undergraduates, guide the summer students. The participants include undergraduates from Rutgers and from institutions across the US and its territories.

We are gearing up to welcome our new cohort of RISE scholars to campus this summer. But first, we're excited to share some recent accomplishments from RISE alumni.
