The FREEDM Systems ERC proposes a smart-grid paradigm shift that
will enable the U.S. to take advantage of advances in renewable energy
for a secure and sustainable future. The FREEDM Systems Center will
realize its vision with breakthroughs in fundamental research (system
theory, advanced storage, and post-silicon power devices) and enabling
technology development (secured communication, distributed grid
intelligence, high-frequency and high-voltage power conversion, and
distributed energy storage devices).
The 2013 Summer REU program offers a research
opportunity to undergraduates from universities outside of the Center
who are majoring in electrical and computer engineering, civil
engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science engineering,
computer science and related fields.
The undergraduate student will spend 10 weeks during the summer of
2013 conducting research at one of five partnering universities (NCSU,
ASU, FAMU, FSU, or MS&T), experiencing different aspects of
university research, and presenting their work at symposia.
This program is open to U.S Citizens and permanent
residents only. Women and members of under-represented minority
population are encouraged to apply.
A $4,000
stipend is paid for the summer research experience. On-campus housing
will be provided and up to $500 for travel reimbursement for those
students arriving outside of a 50 mile radius of the host university.
Application deadline: March 8, 2013.
