This summer, talented undergraduates from across the nation have been conducting research with faculty in the University of Georgia College of Engineering. Our Nanotechnology and Biomedicine Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, funded by the National Science Foundation, attracted amazing students like Leah Feuerman of Occidental College. Leah is working with Drs. Zion Tse and Mable Fok on an origami-inspired endoscope for minimally-invasive surgery.

PARTICIPANT HIGHLIGHT – Morgan DaSilva – 2016 PROGRAM →

The REU program will provide an interdisciplinary research experience at the interface of micro-/nano-technology and biomedicine to undergraduate students from other institutions, leveraging the diverse interdisciplinary expertise, resources, and training opportunities in this area at University of Georgia (UGA).

Students will participate in interdisciplinary research projects that apply micro-/nano-technology to specific biomedical questions. Each REU student will be co-mentored by paired faculty from the nanotechnology and biomedical disciplines on a collaborative research project. In addition to a total-immersion, hands-on research experience, students will participate in enriching activities that will include ethics-in-science workshop; weekly career development seminars; research seminars; educational field trips; participation in conferences in nanotechnology and biomedicine.
