Research Experiences for Undergraduates

Publications

We are proud of the work that our past REU participants have done, and much of their work has been incorporated into published articles. Since many participants reported not knowing if their work resulted in publication, we have put together this list to highlight their contributions. REU participants are marked in bold in the list below. Check back often as we regularly update this bibliography. If you have an item to add to the list, please contact us at reuga@pdx.edu.
