“The entire research experience was incredibly enriching… I learned and accomplished complicated and advanced tasks that I never thought I would have the capabilities to do before!… At the beginning, I had no idea how to read research papers… now I can proficiently break down and obtain the information I need… I would especially like to thank Alborz for his patience and detailed instruction. The material was extremely complicated, and it was only through his step-by-step teaching that I was able to accomplish the project successfully.”

“You both taught me that progress is not linear and the importance of collaboration. Best mentors I could ever wish for! Your enthusiasm for helping others planted a deep root in me and I strive to do the same as I mature.”

“I have learned so much from working with you on the 3D-printing project! Thank you for spending all of those hours helping me navigate the software and teaching me about the research process… I’m very appreciative of your mentorship. You have helped me grow as a researcher and as a person. Your willingness to give advice about school, careers, or research is something I am so grateful for!”
