Shoreham-Wading River High School student Ray Tang has been accepted into the 2025 Simons Summer Research Program at Stony Brook University.
Ray, a junior, will work under the mentorship of Dr. Anurag Purwar in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the highly competitive program that accepts roughly 2% of its applicants. He will learn laboratory techniques and tools, attend faculty research talks, participate in special workshops, tours and events and become a part of an active research team while experiencing what it is like collaborating at a research university.
In his application process, Ray took advantage of the High School’s Writing Center, working with English teacher Brenna Gilroy to develop and fine-tune his accepted essays. At the culmination of his project and apprenticeship Ray will produce a written research abstract and a research poster.
