This is our holding place for project descriptions while we get them all identified. *These are draft descriptions.* Keep in mind that research projects can change quite a bit. That is part of the nature of research. You don't know how things will work out when no one has done your project before.

We put a link to recent REU projects for that mentor, when possible. That doesn't mean the proposed project is like the others, but will give you a flavor of that mentor's research. Likewise, some projects have "most directly applicable majors" listed.

Students applying to the program can mention any particular projects of interest in their essays if they wish, but that is not required and we may not have all projects identified during the application period.

Students who are selected to the program will be asked to rank the projects. This does not necessarily limit who can choose the project, but instead is meant to reveal something of the nature of the project.

 

The following projects will be funded through this REU.
