About
us
We are offering a summer research program for qualified undergraduate students. This is an exciting opportunity to work with emerging technologies and working with leading researchers in the field. This is a 10 week on-campus residential program. Besides working on cutting-edge research, you will get to experience the social and cultural life of Newark through organized events, and connect with students from all across the country. This is an incredible opportunity to gain hands-on experience working on optics and photonics technologies. Funding for this project is provided by National Science Foundation (NSF) REU Program.
