KNI Welcomes 2025 SURF-the-WAVE Fellows

The KNI welcomes its seventh cohort of undergraduate research fellows to Caltech this summer. KNI SURF-the-WAVE (STW) prize fellows participate in a 10-week immersive research experience to pursue nanoscience-based projects within a research group. The STW program enables undergrads to investigate a research topic, guided by graduate student, postdoctoral scholar, and/or faculty mentors. This year's SURF-the-WAVE fellows will delve into a vast array of nanoscience and nanoengineering projects including the study of 2D materials, photoelectrochemical-based solar fuels, biomedical device optimization, and more.

In partnership with the office of Student-Faculty Programs at Caltech and its WAVE summer research program, KNI SURF-the-WAVE prize fellowships are awarded each year to competitive undergraduate students who have an interest in a nanoscience-related field of study. The KNI STW program provides its fellows with bonus opportunities to network and learn more about STEM careers, graduate school and professional development.
