Applications now open for the 2010-2011 Academic Year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program

The OSU Center for Emergent Materials (CEM) will support 9 undergraduates to do CEM related research during the academic year starting November 1, 2010 and continuing through Spring quarter 2011. Students will be expected to work 8 to 10 hours per week during regular class weeks at $10/hour and to present a poster describing their research at the Denman Undergraduate Research Forum toward the end of Spring quarter, 2011. For additional information, please see http://cem.osu.edu/education-and-outreach/reu/

2010 OSU Materials Week Poster Winners

Please join us in congratulating the Best Poster Award winners from the 2010 OSU Materials Week Poster competition.

2010 OSU Materials Week was a great success, with over 330 participants representing OSU and 15 other universities, over a dozen industry collaborators, and several government labs. Many thanks to our Program Planning Committee, session coordinators, speakers, corporate sponsors, and participants for making this such a fun and informative conference.

A highlight again this year was the student poster sessions, where 80 research posters were presented by OSU students and postdoctoral researchers. On Wednesday, September 15, ten award winners were announced at the Materials Week luncheon. OSU President Gordon Gee joined the group and presented plaques and Barnes and Noble gift cards to each of the ten winners, listed below. Congratulations to the ten students, their advisors, and colleagues on an excellent presentation of your research.
