Current Projects
The following projects are open for internships. If interested, contact Prof. Benedicto at ebenedi@purdue.edu. Undergraduates can also participate under the Clarence E. Dammon Dean's Scholarship or Margo Katherine Wilke Undergraduate Research Internship Program.
The IELLab offers regular opportunities to intern in the projects it conducts. Both undergrad and graduate students are welcome. Students are trained in research techniques and are able to 'taste' what research is about or which kind of research project they would prefer to work on. A good opportunity for undergrads with a little bit of intellectual curiosity or thinking about graduate school. Graduate students still thinking about potential research projects can use the internships to explore possible topics for future research.
