Former RISE Intern at the University of Arkansas | |
Roman Dowling, from the University of Arkansas Website | |
|
The University of Arkansas recently published a profile of engineering student and RISE Germany intern Roman Dowling. This summer, he traveled to Germany to work as a computational multiphase flow research intern at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
Talking about his experience, Roman said “I enjoyed working in engineering and encountering and applying the concepts from my studies. The internship taught me how research is done in that field, which has reinforced my desire to go to grad school.”
The full profile is available here!

Hear from Our Gilman-DAAD Germany Alumni! | | |

We love hearing from our alumni about their time in Germany! Summer '22 Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholar Bryce Erdman had this to say about his experience with the Gilman-DAAD Germany Scholarship:
“Traveling to Germany in the summer of 2022 with the help of the Gilman Scholarship was a great personal and professional growth opportunity. I not only made connections with engineers and engineering students in different countries, but I made great friends with students from my home university and other American universities as well. It truly is a great talking point that separates me from other candidates and an experience I will never forget.”
