Internships

Since 1995, research staff have supervised a number of Research Interns from overseas (International Research Fellows). These internships are typically 6-8 months in duration, and are funded jointly by the host laboratory and the University to which the students are attached. The host laboratory funds the research costs, while the interns are responsible for travel and living expenses. A list of past students and their projects is contained below.
