About this opportunity

The Department of Chemistry will host ten students from diverse backgrounds and institutions via an NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program entitled “Novel Techniques and Applications in Catalyst Research Development and Molecular Dynamics” at the University of Pennsylvania, Department of Chemistry (CatResDev) starting summer 2020. This program will host ten undergraduate students during a ten-week summer research experience in the areas of catalysis and molecular dynamics with cross-over into the methods associated with high throughput experimentation (HTE). Priority will be for those undergraduates (UGs) from underrepresented minority (URM) backgrounds with limited previous experience in research. Students will gain research experience while learning the fundamen
