Note: this opportunity encourages applications from community college students.Description: The Illinois MRSEC is excited to offer an NSF-sponsored Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Our ten week summer research program offers undergraduate students the opportunity to work closely with MRSEC faculty mentors on solving a challenging, meaningful scientific question through taking part in the interdisciplinary Illinois MRSEC research. Research topics surround the areas of 2-dimensional and other nanomaterials, ionics, energy conversion and storage, modeling and simulation of materials and devices, strain, defects, heterostructures, magnetic materials, laser spectroscopy, photonics, materials synthesis, additive manufacturing, organic electronics, tissue mechanics,microfluidics, plasma, metals/alloys, polymers, self-assembly, ceramics, electron microscopy, quantum information science, quantum computing, and neuromorphic computing. Projects may include materials growth, characterization, engineering, modeling/simulation, and other aspects of materials research.
Both experimental and computational projects are available.
Due to the interdisciplinary nature of this research, students applying to this program can come from a variety of majors: Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or other related disciplines.
