Dear Students,

Each summer, NSF NHERI research and experimental sites fund 30 undergraduate students from various undergraduate degrees (engineering, architecture, sciences, computer science, social science, etc.) to participate in the Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, the NHERI REU. 

We encourage you to apply for the NHERI REU. The deadline for application is Feb. 16, 2025.

The NSF NHERI research experiences focus on mitigating natural hazards specific to earthquakes, wind storms, tsunamis, coastal engineering, data management and analysis, field reconnaissance, modeling and simulation, and social science research. 
 
Students work with faculty and graduate student mentors to conduct research during a 10-week, paid, NSF-funded summer experience at one of NSF NHERI’s research or experimental facilities: 

• The Wall of Wind at Florida International University
• Real-time Multi-Directional Natural Hazards Simulation Facility (RTMD) at Lehigh University
• The O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University
• The NHERI SimCenter at University of California, Berkeley
• The Center for Geotechnical Modeling (CGM) at University of California, Davis
• The Large High Performance Outdoor Shake Table (LHPOST) at University of California, San Diego
• The Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Experimental Facility at the University of Florida
• The Large-Scale Mobile Shakers at University of Texas at Austin
• The NHERI Cyberinfrastructure and Data Management team at University of Texas at Austin in collaboration with TACC
• The Rapid Response Research Facility (RAPID) at University of Washington
