…of scientific discoveries that bring mostly divergent trails together
…of trailblazing researchers who utilize this convergence to conceive, design, implement, and operate systems, processes, and products that overcome the greatest humanitarian, medical, environmental challenges in the coming century.

“ARCS helped me tremendously. Right now in my graduate program, I have to do a thesis and what I’m doing for ARCS, which involves compiler design with Dr. Kyle Dewey, is very integrated with what I’m doing for my thesis for the school.
