“I’m currently doing my JPL Visiting Student Research Program (JVSRP internship) in California. The JPL Visiting Student Research Program (JVSRP) allows students to intern at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s facility in California.

As part of their fellowship, students are partnered with JPL scientists or engineers, who serve as the students’ mentors. Students complete designated projects outlined by their mentors, gaining educational experience in their fields of study while also contributing to NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and JPL missions and science. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a number of enrichment activities, including tours, lectures, and career advisement, as arranged by the JPL Education Office.

I am doing my JVSRP in conjunction with my MSc, and this opportunity would not have been possible without DSI-NRF CIMERA. My co-supervisor is based at JPL, and she recommended that I come to JVSRP so that I can get help with my data analysis and contribute to the objectives of her projects here.” by
