Potential REU Research Projects

 

Kennesaw State to offer undergraduate research experience in brainwave technology

Selena He and Shirley Tian, esteemed faculty members from the College of Computing and Software Engineering (CCSE), have secured a substantial $324,000 grant. This funding will support their pioneering initiative, a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Over the course of three consecutive summers, this 10-week research program will immerse eight undergraduate students each session in in-depth data discovery, facilitated by cutting-edge technology.

This unique opportunity is not limited by geography; the program welcomes talented students from across the nation to participate.
