Join the Lab: Graduate Students

Princeton’s Graduate School receives applications and admits students, please refer to its website for more information on policies, application package, and deadlines. Past graduate students in our group have come from a variety of disciplines but have strong quantitative coursework and expertise in the fields of engineering, atmospheric science, chemistry, or physics in most cases. Communication of research findings is essential, and thus strong verbal and writing skills are required. Potential applicants are encouraged to reach out to the PI to discuss projects.
