ABOUT
The NYU Shanghai Summer Research Experience Program in Physics (SRPP) is designed to foster entry into physics research-centered career for highly motivated masters and undergraduates with a strong interest in Physics or related scientific disciplines. The primary goal of this program is to extend NYU Shanghai’s research opportunities to non-NYU Shanghai students and to attract talented students to the field of Physics.
Students apply for positions in a 2-month long program during the summer with flexible starting dates. Admitted students will have the opportunity to actively participate in research projects under the mentorship of a professor who is at the forefront of his or her field of physics. Each student conducts a research project under the direction of his or her mentor. At the end of the program, students produce a report summarizing the outcomes of their research project. Financial support will be provided for eligible students for the duration of the program.
