Program Highlights
The N-GENIUS Program provides a highly conducive environment for trainees to cultivate their professional credentials in next-generation ultrasonics R&D. Trainees will enjoy four major benefits:
- Opportunities to engage in multidisciplinary research in biomedical ultrasound.
- Gaining unique, hands-on R&D experience that span from first principles to applications.
- Participating in collaborations and exchanges between partnering labs.
- Developing professional skills needed to pursue an R&D career.
N-GENIUS offers, in addition to multidisciplinary research training, various career development activities such as bootcamps, summer schools, and communication workshops. Trainees will become career-ready experts in ultrasonics by the time they graduate.
