During a typical academic term, an average of 42 undergraduates are participating in faculty-mentored research projects, ranging from pure synthesis, through methods development, to trace detection and high-resolution spectroscopic analyses.



during the summer |>>

The Chemistry Department has been hosting a NSF-funded REU program for 9 out of the 10 past years. While this program is primarilty designed for non-Pitt students, other Fellowship opportunities exists for fulltime Pitt undergraduates.

Why is undergraduate research important?

For Pitt Students…
UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program).

For Other Students…
REU (Research Experiences for Undergraduates).

Students working on, or who have completed an undergraduate research project, on or off campus, are invited to submit a 3-slide poster summarizing their work for display on the Undergraduate Research bulletin board in the lobby of Chevron. Email Prof. Grabowski (joeg@pitt.edu) for additional details.

WebGURU: Web-Guide to Research for Undergraduates. The purpose of this website is to provide undergraduates interested in and/or currently participating in undergraduate research experiences in science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics with ready information and links to reliable electronic resources on all aspects of the undergraduate research experience.
