For summer 2025, the Cornell Nanoscale Facility (CNF) will be hosting two closely related REU programs: 1) CNF NNCI REU Program at Cornell, and 2) the REU program of SUPREME (an SRC JUMP 2.0 center at both Cornell and MIT.

Application Opens: Nov 26, 2024

Application Closes: Feb 6, 2025

The CNF-NNCI REU program (funded by NSF NNCI-2025233) takes full advantage of this diversity of research and offers projects encompassing chemistry, nanoscale electronics, materials processing, physical sciences, engineering, and life sciences, with a strong inter-disciplinary emphasis. The CNF REU program is conducted as part of a broader nanotechnology REU program conducted across many of the sites in the National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI), a national network of advanced nanotechnology user facilities. Participants in the CNF NNCI REU program will present their results at the NNCI REU Convocation at the University of California-San Diego in August at the end of the program.

SUPREME(https://supreme.cornell.edu/) “Superior Energy-efficient Materials and Devices”, is a multi-university microelectronics research center sponsored by SRC, the Semiconductor Research Corporation. SUPREME researchers explore both fundamental new science and novel engineering technologies, with the aim of driving the semiconductor industry in the next 3–15 years, while also training the next generation of scientists and engineers to work across disciplines. The SUPREME REU program, funded by NSF (EEC- 2349310), will take place at both Cornell and MIT, two of the partners in SUPREME. Students placed at Cornell will work with Cornell faculty in ECE, Physics, and Materials Science with considerable activity in the CNF Duffield Hall Cleanroom. Students placed at MIT will work with MIT faculty in both faculty laboratories and the MIT.Nano fabrication facilities.

Students will engage in hands on research activity, be trained in a variety of advanced instrument techniques, and be provided with a range of professional development opportunities.
