What is PSRI?

The Physics Summer Research Institute provides students with the opportunity to spend 10 weeks working on a mentored research project in physics or a related field. PSRI students are paid for their work and get the chance to present their research at weekly meetings of the Physics and Chemistry Summer Research Institutes, as well at national and international physics conferences. PSRI provides students with excellent research experience, preparing them for further research through off-campus summer programs, graduate school, or in industrial settings.
