Summer 2022 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) at Washington State University

The Department of Physics and Astronomy will offer paid summer research internships through our NSF-funded REU program where students will explore how wave concepts are manifest in a broad range of physics and astronomy subfields through individual research projects and interactions with others. See our promotional video for the Physics and Astronomy program.

RESEARCH AREAS

• Photons in Applied Materials
• Wavefunctions in Quantum Materials
• Phonons and Shockwaves
• Waves Revealing the Cosmos

The 10-week program runs in conjunction with other programs on campus (~80 other STEM REU students) and includes professional development seminars, career oriented trips (e.g. LIGO Hanford – gravity wave observatory), social activities, and networking, including presenting at the WSU Undergraduate Summer Research Symposium.

• On-Campus Housing
• Food Budget
• Travel
• Stipend: $6,000
