"By advancing my research, scientists will be able to develop a better understanding of the fundamental particle. This will allow for better technology to be developed, improving the lives of the general public."
Jamal Khayat '19
University of Central Florida
"The part of this research that I found most challenging has been the same part that I enjoyed most: working on the boundaries of human scientific knowledge. In situations like these, there is no guidance on what to do or where to look next. It seems that a scientific intuition that one develops over time is what gives you guidance. And this is what I got to witness first hand by working alongside experienced researchers."
Grace Mattingly '19
Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis
"I believe that I am leaving here with a pretty complete grasp on experimental photocathode research and a better understanding of accelerator physics in general. Now the question of type of research I want to pursue myself can be answered with slightly more completeness."
Matt Tao '19
Purdue University
"I enjoyed interacting with my research group and being a member of the SRF team. The graduate and undergraduate students were insightful and always have interesting topics to talk about. The SRF BBQ's on Fridays in particular were among the highlights of my summer. While chowing down on hot dogs and hamburgers, conversation subjects ranged from Mellotrons to sea salt from France!"
