This program offers a unique opportunity for undergraduates to conduct hands-on high-pressure research using state-of-the-art equipment at a national facility, with all travel, housing, and a stipend provided.
The FORCE Summer School on High Pressure Research is a six-week immersive program designed to introduce undergraduate students to the exciting field of high-pressure research. Participants will engage in a combination of lectures, hands-on high-pressure experiments, and analytical instrument tutorials and demonstrations. The curriculum is structured around key modules including the foundations of high-pressure research, phase diagrams and thermodynamics, analytical techniques for high-pressure samples, and science communication. Students will gain practical skills in operating advanced high-pressure apparatuses and analyzing experimental data. The program also includes weekly field trips around Arizona, providing a broader context for scientific exploration. The aim is to cultivate a deep understanding of how extreme pressure conditions influence material properties and to foster effective scientific communication.
A typical day involves a combination of lectures in the mornings and hands-on practical sessions in the afternoons, focusing on various high-pressure techniques and analytical instruments.
This program is ideal for undergraduate students from any major who have completed introductory chemistry and physics courses and are interested in gaining hands-on laboratory experience in high-pressure research, especially those attending universities without high-pressure research programs.
