Students’ academic interests include mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, accelerator physics, and computer engineering.  

On Friday, June 12, 2026, students and their mentors enjoyed a warm welcome from Lab leadership as well as a pizza lunch.  

Welcome, interns. We look forward to a productive summer!
