The UW REU in Data-enabled Science and Engineering will provide support for a select group of undergraduates to participate in data-enabled science and engineering research under the mentorship of UW Chemical Engineering’s world-class faculty and graduate students.

Students will receive a $5000 stipend plus on campus housing and complete a nine-week immersive research project in a single lab leading to an abstract and poster.  The program has a strong focus on diversity and inclusion: in 2019, 33% of students admitted to the program were from Community Colleges, >50% were Latino, African-American or American Indian, and 67% were female.

Examples of Past Projects

• Employing data-driven techniques to better understand, engineer, and predict the behavior of CRISPRa
• Using COMSOL Multiphysics simulations to improve the efficiency of roll-to-roll (R2R) nanoimprint lithography
• Evaluating surfactant effects on nanoparticle toxicity in the brain microenvironment
• Exploring neural network, random forest, decision tree, and naïve Bayes models for olfactory receptor deorphanization
