Current Pathways partnerships
Research is a team sport! Successful research involves diverse collaborations between individuals and across institutions. The Pathways program develops and supports undergraduate-focused research collaborations between CU and MSIs. We currently have partnerships with:
- University of Puerto Rico – Mayaguez
- Texas State University (San Marcos)
- California Polytechnic State University (San Luis Obispo)
Seeking new Pathways partnerships!
The Pathways to CU Physics program is looking to develop new undergraduate-focused MSI collaborations. If you have ideas for a new partnership we would love to hear from you! Below are a just few examples of CU Physics research groups looking for such collaborative partnerships in their research areas.
Lewandowski Lab
Our group works in experimental cold molecular physics and physics education research, where we bridge traditional boundaries of physics, chemistry, and social science.
Physics Education Research Group at Colorado (PER@C)
The Physics Education Research Group at Colorado (PER@C) is one of the largest research programs in physics education research in the nation.
Leibrandt Group
Are the laws of physics the same today as they were yesterday and the same at all locations in the universe?
