Advanced Individual Academic Development (AIAD)
The Advanced Individual Academic Development (AIAD) program provides cadets with an opportunity to observe and implement concepts from their education in chemistry, chemical engineering and life science over several weeks during this summer internship. The AIAD program enables cadets to perform research with leaders in government and private sector laboratories, both stateside and abroad. These unique experiences broaden cadets’ perspectives and provide them with practical advanced education related to their field of study and real-world application of science in the military.
Cadet Ashli Carlson (2013) performing surgery to implant a heart monitoring device in a rat at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research during her IAD in the Bacterial and Rickettsial Division.
Cadets Kelley Cassidy (2013, Chemistry, Life Science) and Drew Long (2013, Life Science) and LTC Norm Waters, PhD (C&LS) working at the Australian Army Malaria Research Institute.
Cadet Ashley Phillips (2015) working with Dr. Shiguang Liu MD, PhD, at the Hollinger Lab at the Bone and Tissue Engineering Center at Carnegie Mellon University.
Cadet Derrick Hall, 2014, at the Pyrotechnics Research, Development, and Pilot Plant Branch at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ working with Dr. Jesse Sabatini to develop the next generation of “green” pyrotechnic hand-held flares for the battlefield.
Cadets Stephen Chong and J. Ryan Hitt (2015) getting briefed by Dr. Matthew Renda in the laboratory of Dr. Ronald Breaker at Yale University. They were working on a biosensor development project supported by DARPA.
