The future of materials research demands achieving predictable material responses, from materials creation to application, at increasingly reduced length scales. This requires a workforce whose academic and research training leads to breakthroughs.
Innovators are creative.
Our REU Site focuses on creative approaches to materials design and processing. We incorporate proven, theatre-based creativity training into the framework of our research training and our professional development activities.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]
During this nine-week summer program, sophomores and juniors across the STEM spectrum will explore:
