We have had some great undergraduate students participate in our research through the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, run through the Princeton Institute for the Science and Technology of Materials (PRISM). We also encourage Princeton undergrads to join our group for the summer to get a taste for research. Here are the students who have contributed to our work over the years, and a list of their publications.
