Undergraduate Researchers
At OPUS Lab, we are always eager to collaborate with undergraduate researchers. We provide undergraduates with authentic research experiences equivalent to those of graduate students. Our undergraduate researchers have successfully co-authored papers in prestigious venues like Nature Communications and the International Electron Devices Meeting.
We typically pair new undergraduate researchers with experienced graduate students to facilitate a smooth introduction to the field. After collaborating with us for a few quarters—including breaks—undergraduate researchers are officially recognized on our website.
Joining OPUS as an undergraduate researcher is straightforward. To express your interest, please contact us with a brief description of your background, research interests, and a realistic estimate of the time you can dedicate to lab work. Permanent membership and significant publication opportunities are reserved for those who demonstrate consistent commitment and active engagement. Many of our alumni have progressed to top graduate programs nationwide.
