Openings

We are recruiting several graduate students for research and one undergraduate research assistant to help design a comprehensive workshop. Please contact any of the faculty members if interested.

Several RIT graduate students and undergraduates work with faculty associated with the Nucleus. Many have gone on to use their computational skills during the next phase of their career.
