The REU Site: Research on Sustainable Energy Technology and Systems (ROSETAS) is a 10-week summer research program for undergraduate students interested in sustainable energy. It is hosted by the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI), which serves as the nexus for sustainable energy-related research and educational programs at Johns Hopkins University. Projects are available in multiple disciplines within engineering and science.

ROSETAS is hosting its final symposium where the nine participating students will present on the research they have been working on for the summer on August 1 (a Friday) from 10 AM – 1:30 PM in the Great Hall in Levering Hall on the Homewood campus. See below for the schedule, and to register to attend. You must register by COB on July 29 to be given a lunch.
