The Graduate Student Council is conducting an ongoing survey of Caltech graduate alumni about their experiences in the laboratory and with their advisors (P.I.s). This is intended as an aid to new students selecting a research group. Aggregate results for those P.I.s for whom we have at least 3 survey results are available below.

Please note, these survey results are from the past 12 years of alumni. If you don't see data from your group, please encourage recent alumni or students leaving the group to fill out the survey at: http://labreviews.caltech.edu/survey.html. The button at left also redirects to the survey form. A print version is also available.

Results are grouped into .pdf files by department, and P.I.s are listed alphabetically within each file.

New results will only be posted in averaged groups of three surveys for any given P.I., to maintain anonymity of respondents.

The following P.I.'s are included to date:
AERO: A. Leonard, J. Shepherd, G. Ravichandran
APPL MECH & CIV E: J. Beck and J. Hall
