<p>I’m an undergraduate in EE at Caltech. I’m starting my PhD at Stanford in the fall. The research in question is 100% mine. The equipment in question is the multi-million dollar fab equipment present in Caltech’s KNI, which I have 24/7 unsupervised access to. </p>
<p>Again, I’m not trying to say that research doesn’t happen at Mudd. I’m just saying that it’s not at the same caliber or scope as the research going on at Tech. Of course, I’m well aware that being near this sort of high-end research isn’t necessarily the same as being able to take advantage of it–I’m just lucky enough that I’ve had that opportunity personally.</p>
