The CSCC Research Internship program offers students the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research projects that tackle key scientific challenges, including:
- Materials Innovation: Integrating synthesis and growth techniques with advanced characterization methods, developing novel experimental probes, and connecting theory to practice
- Computational Advancement: Creating sophisticated models to push the boundaries of computation technology
- Energy Solutions: Discovering breakthrough materials, exploring novel phases of matter, and pioneering innovative spin science to dramatically improve energy efficiency
Research Experience Structure
Students join the Ohio State research community and collaborate with both a faculty mentor and graduate student from our core CEM departments (Physics, Materials Science & Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering, and Chemistry). You'll conduct hands-on experimental research directly aligned with CEM's priority research areas.
Program Requirements and Benefits
Students commit to at least 8 hours per week during regular class periods throughout the spring semester. The program provides a $750 stipend for fall semester and $1,250 for spring semester. The experience concludes with students presenting their research findings through both poster presentations and oral presentations at the end of the academic year.
