The KSU Physics department brought ten undergraduates together in
the summer of 2006 to do research as part of the NSF REU program.
These reports and the reports from subsequent years can now be found
on the official KSU REU web site.
Pictured above, front row: Leah Van Nahmen, Rakshya Khatiwada, Dana Cristea,
Prof. Kristan Corwin, Chelsea Wieland. Back row: Eric Schultz, Ashley Wheeler,
Prof. Larry Weaver, Scott Palmiter, Daniel Nickel, Jim Black. Not pictured is

The KSU REU program is
funded by and a part of the larger
National Science Foundation
REU program.
The final reports of our students are presented below as both web
pages and as Powerpoint presentations. Each student's name is linked
to his or her personal web page, as well.
