Summer Undergraduate Research in Electrical and Computer Sciences
Our Center offers undergraduate students outside of UT, Knoxville the chance to perform in-depth research with faculty at CURENT's world-class facilities. Students will work on various research topics. More specifically, these projects will investigate:
power systems
power electronics and drives
alternative energy sources
cyber security & smart grid
energy storage
control and communication
power transmission
large data analytics and visualization
distributed and collaborative visualization
power market structures
fault resiliency through robust collaboration among local controllers
Each student will customize their own research based on personal interests by working closely with faculty and graduate students throughout an eight week summer program.
The program will culminate with a poster presentation to faculty, graduate students and fellow researchers to highlight each individual's work.
Our REU program runs eight weeks from early June to late July. Each student earns approximately $4,160 for 8 weeks of research, and campus housing is provided at no cost. We will also cover travel expenses up to $500.
Meals will be the responsibility of the student, but UT's campus is conveniently located less than 1 mile from a large variety of restaurants and on-campus dining (not meal plan). There is also a kitchen in the housing suite.
