Research Experience for the Undergraduate

2010 Summer Research Opportunity for Undergraduates – June 20 to August 20, 2010

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.
