Why did you decide to come to Cincinnati?
I decided to come to Cincinnati because of the wide range of research opportunities. This program allows you to rotate in several different labs so that you can find the research and the environment that best suits you.
Why would you recommend this program to others?
I would recommend this program to others because of the vast array of research available to students and the collaborative atmosphere. The faculty and other graduate students are extremely helpful, creating a friendly and supportive learning environment.
What have you enjoyed most about the program?
What I have enjoyed the most about the program are the opportunities to listen to our own faculty members as well as other researchers from around the world present their data. It gives the students a better perspective of the type of research that is being performed beyond their own individual labs. I have also enjoyed the collaborative atmosphere that allows students to seek the help of other students and faculty members.
