The Stony Brook Experience

“My research with my Ph.D. advisor, Distinguished Prof. Miriam Rafailovich, focused on polymer fibers and has been both intellectually rewarding and personally enjoyable. Prof. Rafailovich is exceptionally knowledgeable and has provided invaluable guidance and support throughout the entire process.  

The graduate program in Materials Science and Chemical Engineering at Stony Brook University is a strong program set in a beautiful and inspiring location. It provided me not only with a degree and research publications, but also with a truly valuable educational and research experience that prepared me well for the job market.
