  • Nanoelectronics
  • Nano/Bio Systems

During the program, all REU students will be involved in workshops, industry visits, recreational activities, weekly seminars, and other activities. It also includes training in laboratory practices and safety, shared materials characterization tools, and scientific writing/presentations. Students attend a weekly research seminar series by Columbia, CCNY and ASRC faculty, and present results at a daylong symposium at the end of the program.
