Attention Undergrad Students,
NHERI REU program overview. Each year, NHERI network facilities host 3 undergraduates to participate in natural hazards research, studying ways to mitigate damage from earthquakes, tsunamis, windstorms and hurricanes — in fields that include coastal engineering, data management, cyberinfrastructure, post-event reconnaissance, simulation and modeling, and social science research. Typical student majors include engineering, computer science, architecture, public policy, and social science.
During the ten-week, NSF-funded, summer experience, NHERI REU students work with faculty and graduate students to conduct research at one of NHERI’s 11 sites:
· The Wall of Wind at Florida International University
· The Advanced Technology for Large Structural Systems (ATLSS) Engineering Research Center at Lehigh University
· The O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University
· The NHERI SimCenter at the University of California Berkley Continue reading →
