Four Hunter juniors have just accepted prestigious interdisciplinary positions in MIT’s 2025 Summer Research Program (MSRP).
MSRP accepted only 39 undergraduates from throughout the world this year. For 10 weeks, each of the four will work in a different lab at MIT with a generous stipend.. These students had a head start toward this achievement when Hunter faculty (Susan Epstein, Saad Mneimneh, and Weigang Qiu) selected them to attend MIT’s Quantitative Methods Workshop for a week in January. Nicholas Cheung is a double major in computer science and math, who is interested in how computer science now drives innovation across a wide range of other fields. Eric Guan is a computer science major who enjoys interdisciplinary applications from robotics to neuroscience. Bahar Sakar is a biochemistry major and a pianist. Nathaniel Stanford is a computer science major and a classics scholar.
