Undergraduate Summer Research Experience (REU)
Welcome to the web site for the Kent State University NSF-funded Chemistry REU program.
We will not be hosting the REU program during Summer 2021. We will begin accepting applications for Summer 2022 this fall!
From 2001-2015 and 2017-2019, we hosted participants from across the country who spent ten weeks in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry and Liquid Crystal Institute research laboratories. Students in our program work closely with the faculty and other researchers on exciting projects in the areas of liquid crystals, materials (biomaterials & nanomaterials) and biological membranes.
In addition to working in the lab, participants of the REU program are also given the opportunity to take part in a number of social events, ranging from sporting and cultural events to canoe trips.
We invite you to review the specifics of our program.
