What ourStudents

say about IRI

"I didn't know if I could actually publish a paper when I first joined. It's amazing to see how this has turned out. I loved working with Dr. Malkin. He was more than a mentor to me. It's beyond imaginable to be able to work with him and get support from him. I want to have that same community feeling in my Uni as I have here. Everyone has been incredibly supportive. There is so much work behind the scene"

IRI in one word: "Fulfilling"
