REU for EE major that wants to get into applied semiconductor physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) programs in applied semiconductor physics and photonics for an Electrical Engineering (EE) and Computer Engineering (CompE) dual major. The user is located in Michigan and seeks recommendations for both regional and national REU opportunities. Engaging with professors in relevant fields is advised as a primary step in the search process. The user is also encouraged to explore previously shared resources in related threads.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of semiconductor physics principles
  • Familiarity with photonics concepts
  • Knowledge of REU program structures and application processes
  • Basic academic background in quantum mechanics and solid state physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research specific REU programs in semiconductor physics and photonics
  • Contact professors in the EE department for guidance on REU opportunities
  • Explore the provided link for additional resources on REU programs
  • Investigate national REU programs outside the Midwest region
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students majoring in Electrical Engineering or related fields, particularly those interested in semiconductor physics and photonics, as well as academic advisors guiding students in their research opportunities.

REU for EE major that wants to get into applied semiconductor physics...

hello, I am a dual major in EE and compE, with minors in both chemistry and physics (3 credits away from the chem minor, and I would like to take quantum mechanics, contemporary physics, and solid state physics, which will also get me a physics minor). I am interested in getting into applied semiconductor physics, or maybe photonics, and would be interested in a good REU. I am located in Michigan. Does anyone know of any good EE engineering REU programs located in the Midwest area? If not, does anyone know of any REU programs nationally? I would be willing to travel outside of the midwest.

Any insight regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Have you talked to any of the professors at your school who are in that field? I'd recommend starting there.
