REU at Harvard University (CNS)

NNCI REU at Harvard University (CNS)

Spend your summer at the Harvard Center for Nanoscale Systems performing cutting-edge research in our world-class laboratories. Focus on an in-depth research project while exploring multidisciplinary research topics. 

Participants are part of a large, diverse research community through organized and informal interactions with students, mentors, and faculty.  We provide a focused effort for mentoring and training undergraduates in several exciting branches of science and engineering.

Through the REU program, we provide a coordinated, educational and dynamic research community to inspire and encourage young scientists to continue on to graduate school.  We emphasize professional development workshops and seminars for a career in science and engineering. Weekly faculty seminars highlight research and community activities are integrated into the program.
