IMOD Summer Research Opportunity for Undergrads

The Center for the Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand (IMOD) focuses on optoelectronic and quantum research primarily in the areas of chemistry, physics, and engineering. Our goal is to transform quantum optoelectronics by developing atomically-precise semiconductor materials and additive manufacturing processes. Students who attend receive a competitive stipend ($7000), covered housing, covered travel up to $550, professional development seminars, and the opportunity to participate in networking, social events, and research presentations.

Optoelectronic devices that generate, sense, and control light underpin the modern information-technology era. As society is increasingly reliant on such devices, the study of optoelectronics enables new technologies ranging from ubiquitous sensors and photorealistic virtual reality displays to quantum-based information technologies. Often these advance rely on the synthesis of highly precise materials and the integration of different materials into functional optoelectronic devices and systems. IMOD is developing new classes of optoelectronic materials, devices, and systems with research projects in a broad range of disciplines that REU students can choose from, including the areas of chemistry, physics, materials science & engineering, and electrical & computer engineering.

Applications for this opportunity will open on November 1, 2024. Application deadline is February 1, 2025.
