REU Program Overview
 |
|
Anna Goblirsch (2008 REU Fellow) from Mississippi State University |
The REU site at Auburn University will provide research experiences for a diverse
group of undergraduate participants from four-year institutions and community
colleges. REU participants will be paired with research faculty mentors to work
in their laboratories on projects focused on micro/nano-structured materials,
therapeutics, and devices. Research projects will be interdisciplinary in nature
and have a strong focus on micro and nano-material science and technology. Specific
topics will include materials synthesis and characterization, micro/nano particle
formation processes, nanomechanics of thin films, carbon-nanotubes, inorganic
nano-rods, MEMS, nanoparticulate systems and micro films for drug delivery, nanofibers
yarns and fabrics, nanoparticle thin films, and others.
