| Description: | The UCR Summer Undergraduate Nanoscale Research Institute for Science and Engineering (SUNRISE) will host 16 rising junior and senior undergraduates this year for a 10-week research experience. With a goal of helping students gain the skills and confidence to become independent researchers and make better career decisions, the experience focuses on intensive and direct contact with a large number of faculty and their graduate students through a series of pre-research lectures, hands-on projects, weekly seminars and workshops, industry field trips, and social activities. Students will also have direct access to UCR's Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE). The NSF REU site is led by the Electrical Engineering Professor A. A. Balandin and includes 16 other professors from seven different departments who offer a variety of research topics in the general field of nanotechnology and its applications to nanomaterials and devices. The students will be lectured on a range of research and career issues, and spent time in the professors' research labs gaining hand-on experience. Some of the available exciting research topics include nanostructured fuel cells; carbon nanotube-based devices; semiconductor spintronics; and single molecule nanomachines. |
