Women and Members of demographic groups traditionally underrepresented in engineering are particularly encouraged to apply. We are not accepting new REU applications, waiting for NSF funding.
Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or permanent resident.
The theme of the REU site is to study and to develop materials and devices with application in biotechnology and medicine by bringing together engineering, computer science, photonics research, chemistry and biochemistry, and nanoscience and technology in interdisciplinary teams.
Students will gain hands-on research training in topics such as 3D microelectrode in vitro chips, electronic and optical biosensors, scaffold materials, wound healing patches, molecular bioimaging, and drug delivery systems. The research will involve both experimental and theory-based learning.
