Year 2: HSI Grant: Summer Research Internship

Tuesday, June 7, 2022 - Monday, August 16, 2022 

David Parent, John Lee, Smita Duroah, Armin Moghadam, Ben Reed, Mojtaba Sharifi, Ali Mehran, and Lin Jiang


In the Summer of 2023, Gavilan CC and SJCC Students participated in the Summer Student Research Internship Program with SJSU Faculty Members. We have 8 SJSU Faculty mentors working with these students throughout their research projects. Each group is working fully in person, hybrid, or strictly online, but they do meet every week to discuss the status of the project and what to do next.

The students will present their results to their families, colleagues, and faculty members at their designated college.
