Ohio State REU 2009 @ Ohio State University
The NSF-funded CEM focuses on fundamental and applied science of exotic and novel materials and next-generation electronics that move toward a new generation of low-power-dissipation high-density electronics. Research involves a wide range of projects, from injection and detection of spin-polarized electrons in silicon or graphene to growth and characterization of complex oxide multilayer structures for possible computer memory applications. Successful REU applicants will be paired with a faculty mentor from a core CEM department (Physics, Materials Science & Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, & Chemistry) and will perform experimental or computational research projects aligned with CEM focal areas. Faculty from other departments are available as mentors when requested.
This 9-WEEK UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH PROGRAM includes a stipend of $4000, travel costs, a dorm room (two per room), and a meal plan. Participants have access to OSU library, parking, and recreational facilities.
