We&#8217;ve successfully worked with REU participants in the past on these types of projects. In fact, Lauren Cantley is a former REU participant who now works with me. Also a high school summer student, through BU RISE, accomplished our first growth of MoS2 at BU. I envision a similar project for the nanomanufacturing REU\/RET participants.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more about Professor Bunch on his<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/eng\/profile\/scott-bunch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">faculty page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing and Characterizing 2D Atomic Membranes PROJECT DESCRIPTION The project will involve growing 2D materials like graphene and MoS2.
