What Our Members Say

Hear from researchers and academics who have found value in our collaborative community

"The research club has been very instrumental in aiding my settling in into the research track. Coming directly from undergraduate studies with no prior knowledge of what is required of me on this path, the club demystified the whole topic, exposed me to the skills and collaborations I need to sail through this path seamlessly."

Wanchi Lucia Yen

MSEAI '27

"The club helped me become more intentional about my research interests and I also value the resources that have been shared as they helped me figure out more about the PhD application process."

Victor Miene

MSEAI '26

"Research is sweeter and more intriguing when done in a team of passionate, high-spirited individuals, though special interests/focus may vary. If you enjoy being challenged to being the researcher you envision, being inspired by peers to greatness, and being at the forefront of innovation, this is the place for you. My growth in research would have been much slower if not surrounded by such a team."
