Research Experiences for Undergraduates
We offer summer research experiences for undergraduates through the Vanderbilt Physics Department's REU program (VU-REU, e-mail), through the Nanosciences IGERT program (VU-REU, e-mail) as well as directly through our NSF grants (e-mail).
Science Experiences for High School Students
To stimulate interest in physical sciences we offer guided tours for high school students through our optics labs and through the labs of the Vanderbilt Institute for Nanoscale Science and Engineering (VINSE).
We also accept High School Students for training with fundamental optical techniques. For more information, availability and scheduling please contact tobias.hertel@vanderbilt.edu.
Tours |
