I worked with CRPL and Prof. Sunita Chandrasekaran for most of my four years of undergraduate education at the University of Delaware. In that time I had unique opportunities to work on multiple research projects, carry out internships at DoE national laboratories, co-author papers as an undergraduate, and get accepted to a competitive PhD program at a peer institution, all through CRPL and the mentorship Sunita provided. She is an exceptional mentor, going above and beyond for her students to make sure they are able to meet their goals, not to mention a visionary researcher and outstanding communicator and organizer for promoting high-performance computing education and research.
Prof. Sunita Chandrasekaran is not only incredibly insightful and highly invested in your success, she also understands the value of developing strong interpersonal skills, building a professional network, and most importantly, supporting students through all the uncertainties and challenges of starting a research career. I genuinely believe I would not have chosen to pursue a PhD without Sunita’s advice, and I strongly recommend that anyone looking for research mentorship or collaboration, at the undergraduate, graduate or professional levels, consider CRPL.
