2024 Research Experience for Undergraduates

June 3 - August 9, 2024

The intellectual focus of this REU program is physics. Undergraduate students are paired up with preeminent faculty to do cutting-edge research in essentially all fields of physics.

Although the main emphasis of the summer is centered on each student's individual research lab, students have the opportunity to engage with a variety of other activities during the program. In the past, these have included workshops on ethics in STEM and programming on "Getting into Grad School", hands-on electronics and machining classes, as well as lab tours and a weekly science seminar series.

At the end of the program, we host a day of research presentations given by each of the REU students.
