Lee Teng Fellowship

Overview

The Lee Teng Undergraduate Fellowship in Accelerator Science and Engineering provides undergraduate-level students an opportunity to study with experts in the field of accelerator science and technology at Argonne National Laboratory. Students are assigned a physicist or engineer mentor at Argonne based on the best match of student skills with the research project. Mentors work closely with the students to carry out the research during the ten-week summer residency. Students also receive guidance on preparing for a career in accelerator science and technology, including applying to graduate school programs. Finally, at the end of the summer they write a paper about their summer research and give a short presentation about their project.
