The first person with whom a new student has contact is the Bioengineering Graduate Group Chair. The Bioengineering Graduate Group Chair will help arrange laboratory rotations and will also be a good resource for students as they develop a program of study for the fall and spring semester of their first year.
Some new students will begin the fall semester of the first year with laboratory rotations and others are directly matched into their thesis lab. Your advisor will play an important role in assisting with future course selection plans and guiding your dissertation research.
