2024 Broader Impact Highlights
REU Site: Nanomanufacturing of Emerging 2D Materials and Devices

The REU program is jointly organized by the 2DCC-MIP and Penn State Nanofab user facilities. The program offers a 10-week team-based summer research experience focused on 2D materials and device development.  

Students specialize in materials synthesis, processing or device fabrication/testing and work collaboratively toward a device/application goal.
Team Project Examples:
p-type WSe2 field effect transistors for 2D CMOS
Biosensing and bioelectronic devices based on 2D materials
On-chip machine vision platform for image classification
2D topological semimetals for electrical interconnects

Professional Development Activities:
Industry visits
Mentor/mentee training
Journal club
End-of-summer REU symposium
