In May we will welcome the 2024 IMOD REU cohort at labs throughout the center. These students will spend the next 9 – 10 weeks engaging in optoelectronic research as they train to be the future scientists of tomorrow. This summer they will explore this future career by engaging in IMOD research and delving deeper into the impact that it has on the world around them. They will not only participate in research, but also network with center members, engage in social activities, and participate in professional development. They are excited by the opportunity, and we’re excited to have them with us!
If you have an IMOD REU student at your institution, please make sure to introduce yourself and help us welcome these future scientists for a great summer of learning and fun!
