The K-State Physics REU: Interactions of Matter, Light, and Learning is a summer research program designed to provide undergraduates with the opportunity to engage in cutting-edge research in physics. The program offers research opportunities in several areas, including atomic, molecular, and optical physics (AMO); high-energy physics; and physics education research. The REU program emphasizes experimental, theoretical, and computational research, allowing students to gain experience in the application of these approaches to solve complex physics problems.
Eligibility Requirements
- Undergraduate Status: Applicants must be currently enrolled as undergraduate students, typically rising juniors or seniors.
- Interest in Physics Research: Applicants should have a strong interest in physics and its applications, particularly in areas such as atomic, molecular, and optical physics, or physics education research.
- Academic Achievement: A competitive GPA is required, particularly in relevant coursework such as physics, mathematics, or engineering.
- Application Materials: Applicants are generally required to submit a resume or CV, a personal statement outlining their research interests and career goals, unofficial transcripts, and letters of recommendation from faculty members.
