Description:
The REU summer research program at Texas A&M University's Department of Chemistry offers undergraduate students a premier opportunity to engage in graduate-level research addressing critical challenges in sustainability, green chemistry, climate change, and human health. Participants work closely with faculty and graduate mentors on independent projects aligned with the "chemical transition," focusing on the shift from fossil fuels to sustainable precursors in the Gulf Coast region. In addition to rigorous research, students will participate in weekly professional development workshops and seminars aimed at enhancing science communication, ethical research practices, and teamwork skills. These sessions, delivered by faculty and industry leaders, provide valuable context for their work while preparing students for graduate studies and STEM careers. The program also fosters connections through social and networking events with peers, mentors, and professionals from academia and industry, creating a supportive and collaborative environment.The program concludes with opportunities for students to present their research through a poster session, symposium, and social media, showcasing their achievements and preparing them for academic and professional success.
