Click here to apply. Online applications will be up soon.  

Click here to view a slideshow. (There are several photos, so it may take a few seconds to load, but it's worth the wait!).  Download our full size 2013 poster here.

The program begins on May 20th to July 26th, 2013. *Earlier or later starting dates are negotiable.

Application materials are due February 1st.

This program provides a stipend of $4,840, 10 weeks of work experience, free room and board, traveling expenses reimbursed, and activities outside the department such as whitewater rafting, a visit to Yellowstone, camping and hiking.  We also provide up to $250 to support REU student travel to professional meetings during the school year following their REU experience to disseminate thier research.

The tentative schedule for the program can be found here.

The following projects are confirmed for the summer of 2013:


The above is not a complete list.  Additional summer 2013 projects will be posted soon, and may include several of the projects from the summer of 2012 listed below:

Linearly polarized photon beam development
Linear accelerator techniques for nonproliferation and homeland security
Neutron flux, reaction rate, and thermal property calculations for nuclear reactors
Photo fission with linearly polarized photons
Enhancement of radiation resistance in microbes
Gene expression profile studies of microbes subject to radiation and other stresses
Photon activation analysis, XRF, and laser ablation studies of stone tools for archeology
Physical & material parameters affecting cross-calibration in XRF and plasma chemistry
Photonuclear production of medical isotopes
