About us
For an overview of Center research, please visit our research section. A list of some previous projects is also available. Each summer, a range of projects is available in both experimental and theoretical/simulation fields.
At the end of the REU program, the participants will write a technical paper and give a 15-minute oral presentation on their research at a symposium open to the public. Other program activities include a field trip to a national or industrial lab, a picnic for social networking, a panel discussion on graduate school admissions, and seminars by Northwestern faculty and graduate students.
Chicago is only a half an hour away with easily accessible public transportation, and city events such as the Taste of Chicago take place throughout the summer.
REU participants receive a stipend of $4,500, plus on-campus housing and a travel allowance. Since our start date is later than most other REU programs, this is the perfect summer program for students whose schools are on the quarter-system!
