PREM HS Summer Internship Program: June 9- July 18
We hosted 8 local HS students from Orange County for 5 weeks. The students participated in an orientation session and spent the entire time working in different PREM labs at UCF. The program concluded with a poster session, where the HS students presented the research they did during the program. See pictures from the poster session above.
STEMS 2025
We hosted the Science & Technology of Emerging Materials Symposium (STEMS) at UCF during Nov. 15-16. The symposium was attended by 79 participants. You can see the full program, abstracts and other details here.
STEMS included a student panel where our students discussed doing research, being in PREM, partnering with UW and much, much, more! Check out the video of the panel on our youtube page.
