SALT: Solar and Alternative Technologies Research Experience

Categories: Internship/REU, Undergraduate

Date: 3/8/2020

The Solar and Alternative Technologies (SALT) research experience is a 10-week summer research program at the University of Tulsa providing undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop exciting alternative energy technologies such as fuel, catalysts, power, energy reservoirs, clean water and plastics from renewable sources or using renewable energy, thereby reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. Students working on SALT projects will learn analytical techniques, responsible conduct and environmental ethics, as well as communication and social media skills through oral and written reports. SALT research will include fascinating technologies such as microalgal biofuel and biocatalysts.

As SALT researchers, students will get a taste of graduate level research, acquire important skills under the mentorship of experienced TU Faculty, see alternative energies in action during field trips and contribute to building a better world through renewable energy. Room, a subsistence stipend for food, and a $500/week traineeship are included. Deadline
Applications are due March 8.
