SURF & IREP 2005
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) & International Research Experience Program (IREP)
for hands-on participation in materials research with projects focusing on
“Structure-Property Correlation Across Micro-to-Nano Length Scales”
Georgia Tech
Atlanta, Georgia U.S.A.
June 1 - July 27, 2005
sponsored by
National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program
through the Division of Materials Research, the NSF Office of International Programs
and the Georgia Institute of Technology
There were 18 students involved in the SURF/IREP 2005 research experience with faculty in Chemistry, AE, BME, TFE, ME, and
MSE, at Georgia Tech. The SURF fellows, were selected out of a pool of about 85 applicants. The overall group came from 12
different institutions around the country, including Morehouse and Spelman colleges in Atlanta, Rutgers (2), Johns Hopkins(2),
Virginia Tech(2), Arizona State University, Norfolk State University, Colorado School of Mines, Univ of Florida, Carnegie Mellon,
and Georgia Tech (6). The majors represented include MSE (14), AE(1), Biomed/Biol (1), ME (2), and Chemical Eng (1). The average GPA of this class was 3.613.
Three REU (SURF) students also participated in the international research experience program. They spent a 6-week period at
one of the following sites in East Asia: National Institute of Materials Science in Tsukuba, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in Beijing, China.
