This National Science Foundation project grant of $340,000 supports an Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site award to the University of Pennsylvania from 2023 through 2026. The award provides hands-on research training and professional development to 10 undergraduate students per summer in the areas of catalysis, computational chemistry, and solid-state chemistry. Unique aspects include exposure to high-throughput experimentation methods and recruitment of underrepresented student groups nationwide. Students gain mentored research experience spanning catalyst development, synthetic applications, and molecular dynamics. They also participate in career exploration and responsible conduct of research workshops. This award furthers the goals of the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) by strengthening the nation's scientific workforce through diverse, competitive training in chemistry and related fields relevant to semiconductor research.
