The Louisiana State University Physics and Astronomy Department, supported by the National Science Foundation, is offering a summer 2022 REU program in Physics & Astronomy. The 10-week program introduces students to the nature of research-oriented careers in physics & astronomy and fosters development of research-related skills and knowledge. Participants are matched with faculty mentors based on student interests. Weekly seminars, field trips and workshops provide students with additional skills development, professional development topics such as ethics and patents/intellectual property, and an introduction to common research resources. Many events occur in conjunction with concurrent LSU summer undergraduate science programs across science and engineering.
