REVAMP REU Program (Renewable Energy Vehicles and Advanced Materials for Power)
The REVAMP REU Program at Georgia Tech provides students with a unique opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary research that explores renewable energy technologies and the development of advanced materials for power systems. The program is designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to address some of the most pressing challenges in renewable energy and sustainable transportation.
Students work on projects related to renewable energy systems, electric vehicles, energy storage, and advanced materials for power. The research may involve exploring innovative materials for batteries, fuel cells, or supercapacitors, as well as investigating new designs for electric vehicle propulsion systems or energy-efficient power grids.
Participants are paired with faculty mentors from Georgia Tech’s School of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineering. They engage in hands-on experimental work, computational modeling, and data analysis, and gain experience in research methods that are critical to the field of energy sustainability.
