The 2024 UT Dallas Physics REU site will bring selected undergraduate students from Texas and from around the US to participate in 10 weeks of research, professional training, and enriching experiences. The UT 2024 Dallas Physics REU is proposed to take place from May 28 to August 3. The REU Fellows will be immersed in an exciting ten-week summer research program, carefully mentored by UTD faculty. The key objectives of the program are to instill in the REU Fellows the excitement of research and careers in science, and to build their research skills both independently and in research teams. This program includes a $7,000 stipend, housing, a meal allowance, access to the gym, and multiple social events. Available REU project areas include:
- Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
- Biophysics
- Cosmology and Gravitation
- Plasma Physics
- Space Physics
The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metroplex is the fourth largest by population in the US, and the largest in the southern states. UTD is a rapidly growing public university, currently with 32,000 students, with a special emphasis on science, engineering and business. The proposed REU site will be located at the Department of Physics in the new 186,000-square-foot Sciences Building. Physics currently ranks 89th nationwide and highest in Dallas Fort-Worth according to US News and World Report.
