SUPPORT TO GRADUATE STUDENTS

All students are invited to two brainstorming sessions every semester where emerging ideas and work in progress are discussed among affiliate students, postdocs, and faculty in an informal setting. The Lab offers tailored support to graduate students at different levels of their academic career, and has junior fellows (first and second year) and senior fellows (third year and above).
