Education Programs

The JHU MRSEC offers summer research internships for high school students and high school teachers.

Each summer, the Materials Science Research and Engineering Center provides support for six to eight undergraduates to spend approximately ten weeks doing actual materials research in one of the laboratories of the JHU MRSEC, either at Johns Hopkins University, Brown University, or Carnegie-Mellon University. Under the guidance of the MRSEC faculty in physics, materials science, and engineering, students conduct research in such topics as nanowire structures, nanoparticle self-assembly, half-metallic ferromagnets, spin-valve structures, and nanocrystalline metals and alloys.

Each undergraduate selected will receive a stipend, and assistance with travel and housing expenses if not living locally.
