Many UC Davis professors include one or more undergraduates in their
research groups. Doing research as an undergraduate can expose you to a
side of physics very different from coursework, train you in marketable
skills from machining to computer programming, and provide a break from
problem sets. Usually a student interested in joining a research group
contacts the professor directly. The following list of faculty and
brief research descriptions is meant to make this process easier. All
faculty named here (as well as some who aren't) are willing to work
with undergraduates. Click

Research Experience for
Undergraduates (REU) Program at
UC Davis
(Note: This program focuses on non-UCD students, but Davis
undergraduates are welcome to participate as well.)
Many other institutions have summer research
programs for undergraduates sponsored by the National Science
Foundation. Through these programs students can work in areas not
represented at UC Davis and can experience a different work
environment. A strong recommendation letter from an external REU
program is also a big plus in applications for graduate school and
fellowships.
