ARCS IS A STORY
…of revolutionary convergence between multiple disciplines
…of discoveries that bring divergent trails together
…of trailblazing researchers who utilize this convergence to conceive, design, and implement
systems, processes, and products that overcome the humanitarian, medical,
environmental, and entrepreneurial challenges in this century.

“ARCS helped me tremendously. Right now in my graduate program, I have to do a thesis and what Iām doing for ARCS, which involves compiler design with Dr. Kyle Dewey, is very integrated with what Iām doing for my thesis for the school. And in addition to that I was able to get connections with some JPL people, able to go through some interviews, and land a summer internship with them. So, itās very life-changing. I love ARCS.ā
“One of my undergraduate research projects was actually the STEAHM Bubble, which is about a football-sized field of autonomous research space that is hopefully going to be built here at CSUN‘s campus… The goal of that is to be able to collaborate with industry partners to give them a test facility to run experiments and to have places for collaboration…”
