Participants of this summer REU program will join the research labs of a diverse group of faculty mentors to engage in cutting-edge research in all areas of Chemistry, with an emphasis on model building, data analysis, and computation. Research activities will be complemented by professional development workshops and seminars designed to enhance participants' computational skills, scientific communication, and preparation for graduate school.

The REU cohort will integrate local UoU undergraduates and will interact with other summer research programs on campus, providing a peer environment that fosters a strong sense of belonging to the scientific community.

• Stipend of $6,000
