Below is a list of topics and professors who host REU students each summer from each of our two REU program
From Subatomic to Cosmos REU
- Physics of Materials (Condensed Matter Physics):
- quantum properties of 2D materials (topological insulators, superconductivity, spin-electronics)
- Soft-materials: active matter, memory ( Keim)
- Particle Astro-physics and Cosmology
- Optics, Photonics, Spectroscopy and Optical Materials
- Biophysics (Liu, Albert),
- Atom Trapping, AMO, and Cold Atoms (Weiss, Gadway)
Center for Nano-scale Science REU
-
- 2D material nano-devices or sensors ( Zhu, Robinson, Terrones)
- piezoelectrics, biosensors, 2D materials (graphene, transitional metal chalcogenides)
- Electro-optical and 2D materials: ( Robinson, Terrones, Knappenberger)
- Computational Materials: Dabo, Chen, Sinnott
- energy storage, 2D materials, density functional theory
- Nano-materials chemistry: synthesis and materials characterization (Terrones, Knappenberger , Robinson, Mao, Alem)
- photovoltaics, carbon nanotubes, energy storage, 2D materials
- 2D material nano-devices or sensors ( Zhu, Robinson, Terrones)
