Young scientists need exposure to modern research methods and tools as part of their training.
#Chem draw umich professional
In addition to conducting research during the summer, the students participating in this program will participate in a number of professional development activities, and will have expanded opportunities for presentation of research at national disciplinary meetings. A sample of the projects that undergraduates will work on include: (1) ultrafast laser spectroscopy of solvation dynamics (2) the study of nickel-based catalysts for chain-growth polymerizations (3) two-photon spectroscopy of novel materials (4) the formation and study of semifluorinated alkylsiloxane self-assembled monolayers (5) the study of CH activation with Pt(II) diimine catalysts (6) the study of the kinetics for ligand attachment to dendritic nanoparticles. The site will support fourteen students per summer in a ten week program. Undergraduates will be recruited to this site primarily from institutions that lack infrastructure to support undergraduate research, including students from underrepresented groups.


The research projects supported in this site are in broad areas of chemistry. This award from the Division of Chemistry (CHE) supports a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site led by Brian Coppola and Melanie Sanford at the University of Michigan.
