Dr. Basu is interested to work with self-motivated, academically strong, team work orientated graduate students. Graduate Students with Dr. Basu get both the opportunity to meet with her regularly as well as to participate in research group meetings where students take turn discussing and presenting their research or papers of interests. Each student has the opportunity to present their work at conferences and contribute to journal papers.
*International Positions for 2025 – are currently full; applications for Fall 2026 will be considered in January – March 2026* applications outside this window will not be considered
