Pi Chamber Laboratory Visiting Student Fellowship
This fellowship intends to support travel and living expenses for one visiting graduate or undergraduate student from another university for up to 10 weeks per year. We welcome applications from any student with a background in the relevant physical sciences or engineering, and actively encourage applications from students with backgrounds that are underrepresented in the physical sciences. Priority will be given to visiting graduate students. Applications consisting of a CV, a letter of interest from the student, and a letter of support/reference from the graduate advisor or academic advisor, should be sent to Raymond Shaw.

The cloud chamber group enjoys hosting tours for the curious learner. Some past visitors include:
