The Physics Summer Research Scholarship provides funds up to $5,000 to support undergraduate physics and engineering physics majors pursuing research projects with Ohio State faculty members. Jason Balek (pictured left), paired with Professor Jeanie Lau, worked on projects in condensed matter involving graphene and other two-dimensional materials. He explained, “I learned how to mechanically exfoliate some of these materials and started to learn how to stack these materials on top of each other to create heterostructures. I grew my programming skills while developing a tool to use in the lab to help with graphene exfoliation."
