This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside (UC Riverside) provides $430,000 in funding for an Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site focused on materials science and thin-film technologies. The award, made under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will support hands-on research opportunities for undergraduate students in areas such as semiconductor processing, materials characterization, and applications of thin films in catalysis, electronics, and biomedical devices. Through this 3-year REU site, students will gain practical lab experience, develop research skills, and explore diverse career pathways in materials science and engineering. The award supports UC Riverside's efforts to engage undergraduates, particularly from the local Inland Southern California region, in cutting-edge materials research and foster their interest in STEM education and careers.
