Ross Hartley, EECE senior, Selected for Summer Research at Berkeley

Ross Hartley, an EECE senior, has been accepted to a highly competitive summer REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) program at the prestigious Center for Energy Efficient Electronics Sciences (E3S) at the University of California at
Berkeley. The E3S Center is chartered to conduct research that will open a new energy efficiency frontier in information technology by developing transformative science and technology that reduce energy consumption in electronic systems by
orders of magnitude. 

The E3S REU, a top rated residential summer research internship program, offers nine weeks of research opportunity at the laboratories of E3S faculty at Berkeley in cutting edge electrical engineering, material science, physics and chemistry research projects. This year’s E3S REU focuses on nanaoelectronics, nanophotonics, nanomagnetics, and nanaomechanics. The program seeks to motivate and encourage gifted students toward graduate school and careers in science  and engineering research. 

Ross, a native of Lafayette, Louisiana, graduated from Lafayette High School at the top of his class and joined UL Lafayette in fall 2011. He is the current president of Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical engineering honor society at UL Lafayette. Ross will graduate with a degree in Electrical Engineering in spring 2014 and plans to go on for graduate studies.
