NSF REU SITE: Integrating Computation and Experiment to Create Revolutionary Materials
Integrating Computation and Experiment to Create Revolutionary Materials (ICECRM) is an REU program focusing on developing new materials by harnessing the power of accelerated simulations and experiment.
The opportunities and challenges presented by data in materials science and engineering have expanded rapidly in the last two decades. Massive data repositories have emerged both from supercomputer-based modeling and from advanced experiments involving data-intensive measurements. Harnessing the full opportunities presented by this flood of data is going to be a persistent challenge; the next generation of scientists need training in the skills required to create, manage, and analyze these enormous data-sets. This REU seeks to provide students with a sense of where materials science is going in the 21st century.
Summer 2026
Program Dates: May 26 – August 7, 2026
OVERVIEW
This REU is designed as a 11-week program where students will tackle an interdisciplinary problem in materials informatics. Students will be paired with a professor and associated graduate student and conduct cutting-edge experimental or computational research. Participants will receive a stipend of $6,600 for the summer, be provided room and board at Mines, and receive a travel allowance. You are expected to participate full time for all 11-weeks.
Here is our list of projects for summer 2026.
Applications are due March 31st. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until all available positions are filled.
