I’m pleased to welcome three students to the School of Computer Science this summer. Jay Patel, Vrushabh Bhagwatkar, and Ekjot Kaur will be joining our lab as Mitacs Globalink interns. During their internships, they will spend their time working with other undergraduate and graduate researchers on a variety of projects.
Jay will be joining us on June 1st, while Vrushabh and Ekjot will join the lab on June 10th and July 14th, respectively. To get to know them better, both Jay and Vrushabh have provided short bios which you can find below.
