Interns/Fellows/Mentors
(IFM Program)

Our internship, fellowship, and mentorship program thrives on collaboration across fields and experiences. The program welcomes students, academics, and professionals into a laboratory setting that generates innovation. Members of our IFM program join forces to share expertise, ideas, connections, and workspace. We strategize together and we build together. A key component of this setting is the interdisciplinary emphasis; we intentionally cultivate diverse approaches in order to solve electoral problems. Backgrounds of participants may include data science, mechanical engineering, computer science, philosophy, ecology, mathematics, sociology, political science, public policy, and communications.

Summer 2023 Interns & Fellows

Our mentors regularly host in-lab lectures to address critical issues in our democracy. Holding true to our philosophy of intellectual diversity, the tools in their presentations have ranged from ballots to bees to bifurcation theory. Each approach has proved immensely valuable in the science of electoral reform.

The following are summaries of presentations and work session topics during our 2023 summer internship and fellowship program:
