PCCM's REU program provides opportunities for undergraduates to carry out research at the forefront of materials science and engineering. All students interested in materials science are welcome to apply.
For 9 weeks the REU students work on projects under the guidance of faculty from the departments of Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology, Chemical and Biological Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Civil and Environmental Engineering. The REU research projects are not special projects created for the undergraduate level, but rather are an integral part of current research of faculty associated with the Princeton Center for Complex Materials. REU students are matched to ongoing research projects of the faculty based on the research interests they list in their application. Therefore, applicants are not only selected based on their qualifications, but also how well their interests align to the available projects.
The PCCM REU program also provides an educational component consisting of short courses and lectures, designed to introduce students to the grand challenges of materials research. Special seminars also examine the role of science and engineering in society. Lab visits to both Princeton labs and industrial labs in the area are arranged.
This summer we welcomed our group of REU 2024 students! We were delighted to have them in Princeton, for 9 weeks of academical and personal growth!
PCCM REU 2024: Week 9. Poster Night.
PCCM REU 2024 students presented their research during a poster session at Bowen Hall Atrium. Attendees and poster presenters interacted, mentors and lab colleagues showed their support and said their farewells.
