Visiting Student/Scholar and Undergraduate

Always welcomed!

High School Student

We design Six-week mini-research projects focusing on novel materials design for renewable energy storage, aimed at engaging high school students in the field of engineering. Each participant is expected to dedicate at least 25 hours per week to complete the challenging and enriching research experience. While this program is voluntary, we provide scholars with all the materials, supplies, and equipment for their projects. We also provide study spaces in student office, which is next to the lab, for conducting research and discussion. Participants are only responsible for transportation and meals. If you wish to learn more about the projects or are interested in participating in the summer of 2025, please contact Dr. Kong at lkong@sdsu.edu.
