What students and faculty are saying about FURI

 

  

Jennifer Gamboa

B.S.E. Chemical Engineering, Molecular Bioscience and Biotechnology  

Class of May 2011 

 

 

 

"FURI has given me the rare opportunity of being involved in cancer research beginning my sophomore year.  The research I perform in prostate cancer has allowed me to learn techniques such as Westerns and it has developed my knowledge in biology as well as nanotechnology, which involves engineering."

 

 

 

Benjamin Jimenez
B.S.E. Aerospace Engineering
Class of 2010
Spring-fall 2007, spring-fall 2008 participant 

 

 

 

 

 

“For the past two years, FURI has provided me with the tools necessary to soar beyond the requirements of a challenging Aerospace Engineering program. I have been blessed with invaluable research experience, funding that has alleviated my financial concerns, and a network of professionals that have given me guidance and will undoubtedly propel me career. I can only hope to one day support future students with the same zeal that the FURI program has given to ASU's future engineers.”

 

 

 

Daniel Bishop
B.S.E. bioengineering
Class of 2009
Fall 2006, spring-fall 2007, spring-fall 2008 participant

“The FURI program gave me the opportunity to plan my own research. I got to see how research in engineering works while learning concepts from my mentor. Thanks to the program, I am now pursuing a career in engineering research.”

 

 

 

Kenyon McAferty 

B.S.E. Bioengineering 

Class of May 2011

 

 

 

 

"My research focused on biosensor optimization through process control.  Now I'm extending it to include blood sample processing.  FURI allowed me to work in a great team environment with professors and graduate students.  There is so much to learn in a laboratory that you just can't get in a classroom.  Thanks to FURI I feel ready to hit the ground running as an engineer in the biotech industry."
