Student Research Opportunities

Both institutional funds and research grants from foundations and organizations pay students' summer stipends and allow them to travel to professional meetings to present their results. Undergraduates become coauthors on research publications with their mentors.
Into which area do you think you would fit? Running accelerators to study the nucleus? Modeling quantum systems? Understanding neutron stars? Paving the way for new semiconductors? Take a look at some of the past student work on our website and dream about what you could do.
In 2005. the NSF awarded us another REU site grant (our 4th consecutive grant) to support our summer research program. Our track record and proposals were strong enough that our grant was funded for 5 years! For information about our current summer research program, please check out our information on the 2009 Research Opportunities page.
