Student in Ozkan's Group Wins Research Internship in Science and Engineering (RISE) Award

Cailin Buchanan received the Deutscher Akademischer Dienst (DAAD) Research Internship in Science and Engineering (RISE) award. Cailin is in Umit Ozkan's Catalysis Research Group.

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) works to create unique opportunities for science and engineering students from the United States and Canada interested in gaining serious practical experience in Germany. It was created in the belief that good research relies on cooperation and that international teamwork is becoming increasingly important. Scientists and engineers with international experience are increasingly sought after in both business and industry, while the number of truly exciting professional work programs abroad for students in the sciences and engineering is still far too small.

DAAD is a publicly-funded independent organization of higher education institutions in Germany. Each year DAAD, its Regional Branch Offices, its Information Centers, and DAAD Professors around the globe provide information and financial support to over 120,000 highly-qualified students and faculty for international research and study per year. It has operations in New York, San Francisco, and Toronto.

Congratulations, Cailin!
