Cornell NanoScale Science & Technology Facility (CNF) is a national user facility that supports a broad range of nanoscale science and technology projects by providing state-of-the-art resources coupled with expert staff support. CNF has been serving the science and engineering community since 1977! Over 700 users per year (50% of whom come from outside Cornell) use the fabrication, synthesis, computation, characterization, and integration resources of CNF to build structures, devices, and systems from atomic to complex length-scales. Our CNF REU research projects encompass chemistry, nanoscale electronics, materials processing, physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences, with a strong inter-disciplinary emphasis.

CNF REU interns interact with researchers from academia and industry, work with Cornell faculty and graduate students, learn hands-on nanofabrication processes, train on a variety of nanofab tools, and become independent nanoscale researchers in their own right. The CNF REU Program runs from approximately the first week of June thru the first week of August and the first two weeks of our ten-week program include intense training, including attending our short course, Technology & Characterization at the Nanoscale (CNF TCN), and attending our three-part New User Training. The summer typically concludes with a Nano-Convocation on Cornell campus so that mentors can attend, and then a three-day National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI) REU Convocation . Finally, each CNF REU intern writes a two-page report that is published as part of the CNF Research Accomplishments.

CNF REU interns receive a $6,000 stipend, plus housing and reasonable travel expenses. Full participation in the ten-week program, convocations, final reporting, and program evaluation is mandatory. And of course, the program covers all reasonable research expenses!

Florida International University FIU REU Site: Understanding Coastal Eco Systems

The Research Theme of the REU Site is the ecology of coastal ecosystems across gradients of human impact. Specifically, our research looks at coastal ecosystems ecology, environmental aquatic chemistry, and the connections among the Everglades wetlands, coastal mangrove forests, seagrass beds and shallow water coral reefs. Our goal is to detect the sources, transport and transformation of environmental stressors and the ecosystem responses under rapid changing climate and land-use. The hydrologic connectivity between the natural, agricultural, and urban landscapes results in a highly complex network of contaminant and pollutant sources that are transported throughout a heavily managed water landscape.

RESEARCH IN INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS FOR STUDENTS @ UCLA

Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) 2023, Institute for Pure & Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA

In contrast to most summer research experiences that focus on an academic problem where students work closely with an academic mentor, RIPS students apply their mathematics knowledge to a real-world industrial problem, with an emphasis on problem solving using whatever methods are appropriate. In this way, RIPS is a cross between an REU and an internship.

RIPS is a program for students who are enrolled in or have just completed an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree.
