REU: Synthesis, Assembly, and Characterization of Soft Matter Systems

Professor Kiril A. Streletzky and associate professor Jessica Bickel from CSU’s Department of Physics have been awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to re-establish a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site at CSU. The project, titled "Synthesis, Assembly and Characterization of Soft Matter Systems," has received $367,616 in funding to bring 30 students from across the US in the summers of 2024, 2025, and 2026 to CSU to work with faculty from Physics, Chemical, and Biomedical Engineering, and Math and Statistics on 10-week research projects.
