Past REU Publications + Posters
Summer Research with REU
This page lists all of the research papers and posters involving students participating in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program each summer. When each student applies, they choose which type of research interests them the most, then they are placed to work with one of our participating faculty mentors. Click the button below to learn more about each faculty member and the different type of projects they are working on.
All participating REU students are highlighted in bold and marked with an asterisk (*) in the sections below.
