REU Home

The Center for Materials Chemistry offers undergraduates the opportunity to perform cutting edge research in materials chemistry during a nine-week in-residence program at the University of Houston. Hands-on laboratory research is emphasized. With the help of their research advisor and mentor, students learn how to plan and perform experiments, use modern instrumentation, analyze data, give informal and formal scientific presentations, write scientific reports, and work independently and as members of a team. The student research projects are designed to allow for significant results to be obtained within the nine-week program.

Students participating in the CMC-UH REU program receive a $4000 stipend, rent-free housing, and three hours of University of Houston course credit for Independent Studies in Materials Chemistry, for which the REU program pays all tuition and fees.

Supported by the National Science Foundation and the University of Houston
