Experiences for Undergraduates Program
Funded
by the National Science Foundation
(NSF Grants # DMR-0243977 and # DMR-0648962)
The
University of New Orleans (UNO) has sponsored a Research Experiences for
Undergraduates (REU) Site since 2003 in the area of materials science and
nanotechnology. The REU Site is affiliated with the
interdisciplinary Advanced Materials Research Institute (AMRI) at
UNO. Eight students are recruited every year for a ten-week summer
research experience. Recruitment efforts focus on undergraduates from
historically black colleges and universities in the New Orleans area.
The REU Site involves faculty mentors from AMRI and from the Departments
of Chemistry, Physics, and Biological Sciences. Students participate in research projects within the areas
of synthesis, characterization and application of nanoparticles and
their composites and assemblies. Undergraduates also attend scientific
and professional development seminars, a session on research ethics, and
participate in field trips to local industrial and related sites and in
organized social activities.
