Mission Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The College of Engineering REU Research Symposium at the University of Georgia provides a platform to present biomedical engineering research conducted by exploring the interface between nanotechnology and biomedicine. A diverse group of undergraduate STEM students from eleven universities in nine different states across the country will share the culmination of their summer-long interdisciplinary research efforts. Their findings will contribute to scientific publications, inspire future projects, and provide the groundwork for continued exploration. This symposium is a credit to the success of an REU program designed to increase participation of underrepresented STEM students and encourage interdisciplinary research.<\/p>\n

Announcement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The College of Engineering at the University of Georgia is pleased to invite you to the second annual College of Engineering REU Research Symposium. The symposium will begin at 8:00 A.M. on July 27th, 2016, at the Paul D. Coverdell Center for Biomedical and Health Sciences Auditorium.<\/p>\n

Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to revolutionize medicine. This symposium will present research conducted at the intersection of nanotechnology and biomedicine to answer specific biomedical engineering questions.<\/p>\n

The pool of scheduled speakers represents a diverse STEM student population. These eleven individuals in undergraduate \u00a0programs at ten universities from across the country have a range of majors including engineering, mathematics, and life sciences. They spent the summer collaborating with pairs of professors to take an interdisciplinary approach to their total-immersion, hands-on research. This symposium provides a platform for these students to present the culmination of their efforts. Their research will contribute to publications, provide the groundwork for more extensive exploration, and inspire new projects.<\/p>\n

The research presented will cover a range of topics including the following:<\/p>\n
