Research Internship in Materials Science & Renewable Energy

In summary, the conversation was about a person looking for a suitable summer research program or course in the US related to materials science and renewable energy, before starting their PhD. They were seeking advice and mentioned the AIP website as a resource, but were also interested in programs offered by their university. The conversation also included plans to attend a PhD program in the US and a possible meet-up with the other person on the southeast coast.

Hey there, I was surfing the net trying to find any suitable research program, three months course or less this summer, until I decide which university I'm going to join for my PhD. Any advice is most appreciated. Btw, my major is materials science, and I'm interested in renewable energy.


P. S. In the US of course. :biggrin:

The AIP has a pretty big listing of available research internships and such on their site. I don't know if you have to be a member to see it though.
