DAAD RISE Scholars

URochester boasted an impressive 13 DAAD RISE scholars this year, including five Hajim School students. With support from the Student Fellowships Office, these scholars secured internships at top German universities and research institutions. Students are matched with a host university or institute based on their area of interest (biology, chemistry, physics, earth sciences, engineering, or a closely related field) and work with PhD student mentors or researchers.
This year’s participants from the Electrical and Computer Engineering department include:
- Theresa Karp ’27 (audio and music engineering), who worked as an audio and music engineering course development intern in the summer 2025, will spend this summer in Clausthal-Zellerfeld studying at the Technische Universität Clausthal’s Institut für Elektrische Informationstechnik.
- Quan Nguyen ’27 (electrical and computer engineering), who works in Professor Hui Wu’s Laboratory for Advanced Integrated Circuits and Systems, will spend the summer in Mühlheim at Hochschule Ruhr West’s Institute of Measurement and Sensor Technology.
