Highlighted Opportunities
These programs have been recommended to FOCUS by participating students. Feel free to recommend any experiences you know about!
- Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment Summer 2019
- University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) Future Leaders in Advanced Materials (FLAM)
- Yale’s Center for Research on Interface Structures and Phenomena
- The goal of the CRISP REU program is to offer high-quality, state-of-the-art research experiences, enrichment activities and professional development events to undergraduates. Current research topics range from thin film growth and characterization to friction and manipulation at the atomic level with projects involving computation, simulation, fabrication, characterization and image processing. Materials systems included semiconductors, dielectrics, optical materials and bio-materials.
- Summer Research Experience for Undergraduates at Northwestern University
- The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at Northwestern University offers a 9-week, paid summer research experience for undergraduates. Students are matched with leading research professors in science and engineering fields. Research areas include ceramics, polymers, nanocomposites, photonics, nanoparticles, molecular electronics and biomaterials. While there are many REU programs, the NU-MRSEC stands out in offering students an interdisciplinary research experience.
