This Project Grant award of $465,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support the "UPENN-LRSM RESEARCH EXPERIENCE FOR UNDERGRADUATES (REU) - SITE" program at the University of Pennsylvania's Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter (LRSM). The program will provide transformative research experiences to 10 undergraduate students annually, engaging them in cutting-edge materials science research and developing their scientific communication skills. The program will integrate faculty mentorship, graduate student guidance, and targeted professional development workshops to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers. This investment in undergraduate research education aligns with NSF's mission to strengthen the nation's scientific talent pipeline and drive innovations in materials science. The award has a 3-year period of performance from March 2025 to February 2028.
