Description

The NSF-funded CEM REU program involves a wide range of research projects where students will learn to address scientific issues including:
The design, synthesis and growth of new materials (crystals, thin films, 2D) with unique electronic and magnetic phenomena.
Developing innovative tools to understand how to control material properties within and across interfaces.
Building a theoretical foundation for these emergent properties.Successful REU applicants will be paired with a faculty mentor from a core CEM department (Chemistry, Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics) and will perform experimental or computational research projects aligned with CEM focal areas.
