Berlin Institute of Technology (BHT)  Experiential Learning Berlin-America (ELBA) program

For TCNJ students:

• Schools of Science and Engineering– Work in my lab and collaborate with students and faculty from the Berlin Institute of Technology (BHT). These are outstanding opportunities,  and require advance planning, so contact me as early as you can:
  • Present your work at an international photonics conference in Munich.
  • Take a summer course Photonics in Berlin, with significant scholarship support available from DAAD.
  • Do full time, paid summer research in my lab, funded by the National Science Foundation, with BHT collaborators.

For BHT students:

• Physics, Medical Physics Engineering, and Applied Physics majors– Complete your Bachelor/Master thesis requirements in my lab during a 6 – 9 month residency.  
  • Travel and living funding available through ELBA-DAAD.  Apply here .
  • See table below of outcomes for students completing this program in my lab since 2009.
