"I was a graduate student from Jan 2017 to Dec 2019 as well as a Graduate Research Assistant from Jan 2018 to May 2019 at Northern Illinois University. It was a great learning experience where I could put to use my skills and learn new ones at the same time. I worked on my thesis in the CFD field which helped me realize the connections academia has with industrial settings."

"I have been working at NIU from 2012 as teaching and research assistant. The pay is not on par to other big institutes in the state. This is just a graduate student's position so there is not much industrial exposure."
