Through the National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates program, JILA and the Department of Physics the University of Colorado hosted 12 REU students for the summer of 2008.

Each student will be placed in a separate research group, which typically includes a lead professor, postdocs, and graduate students.

Research opportunities exist in the following areas:
