Will I be working with other NanoJapan students during the research internship or matched with a Japanese graduate student or mentor?
While there may be 1 or 2 other NanoJapan undergraduate students working in the same university or city, in most cases you will be the only NanoJapan undergraduate assigned to that specific research laboratory. You will be matched with a Japanese graduate or post-doctoral mentor who will assist you in the start-up and initial implementation of your project. By the end of the summer it is anticipated that you will be working on this research project independently with the close supervision and oversight of your mentor and your Japanese research host professor. When the summer concludes you will be expected to present a topical research project poster on your summer project at the Rice Quantum Institute Summer Research Colloquium.
