Summer Undergraduate Research at the Center for Emergent Materials, Ohio State University
The NSF-funded CEM REU program involves a wide range of research projects where students will learn to address scientific issues including:
- Integrating materials synthesis and growth, characterization, novel probe development, and theory
- Modeling in order to enhance computation technology
- Modeling the behavior of skyrmion magnetic interfaces.
- Improving energy efficiency through the discovery of new materials, novel phases of matter, and innovative spin science.
Students will participate in professional development activities focusing on preparing for graduate school and research-related careers. They will also participate in peer networking and social activities. Successful REU applicants will be paired with a faculty mentor from a core CEM department (Physics, Materials Science & Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemistry) and will perform experimental or computational research projects aligned with CEM focal areas.
