The 2021 REU students and research mentors at UW Bothell.

The 2021 student cohort

In 2021, 23 students participated in the UWB Physics REU Program. Some students were on campus, and others participated remotely.

The 2021 UWB Physics REU Program was supported by NSF REU award #2050928 with additional funding from NSF, the UWB Physical Sciences Division, the UW Research Royalty Fund, and the Washington NASA Space Grant.

Below you will find information about the talented students who worked with us during  summer 2021.
