Professional Development through Research
The TIRP-RET program gives you a chance to develop yourself professionally by
participating in physics research.
Research experiences are up to six weeks long and may include:
- Nuclear and particle physics research at Hampton University and/or Jefferson Lab
- Research in collaboration with Hampton University undergraduates in the Undergraduates in Physics (UniPhy) program
- A Physics Education initiative which you would help design
All research programs will be mentored by Hampton University faculty members or other qualified
physicists.
