Summer
2016 Program
The Texas
A&M Cyclotron Institute, in conjunction with
the National Science Foundation,
is serving as a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site during
the summer of 2016.
This REU site focuses on research in nuclear
physics and nuclear chemistry. Students will have the opportunity
to work closely with internationally renowned scientists at
a major university-based nuclear facility.
Undergraduates will gain research experience
by carrying out specific projects under the direct supervision
of Physics/Chmistry faculty at the Cyclotron Institute. Weekly
discussions on forefront areas of Nuclear Physics/Nuclear Chemistry
will be led by Institute faculty. Students will have the opportunity
to share their work via an oral presentation and virtual poster
session.
