Summer Student Research Program at Wright Lab
Yale Wright Laboratory offers undergraduate and postgraduate researchers from Yale and from other institutions, and select local high school students cutting-edge, hands-on experiences in experimental nuclear, particle, and astrophysics; quantum science; and instrumentation. Students and postgraduate associates at Wright Lab participate in fundamental physics experiments on campus at Yale and around the world. They develop, build, and use advanced instrumentation and technologies for research; analyze data; and acquire skills for successful careers in graduate school and beyond.
The Summer Student Research Program at Wright Lab is an annual program, sponsored by Wright Lab since 2018. In 2022, the program expanded and is now co-sponsored along with the Yale Physics Department, the Yale Astronomy Department, the Yale Quantum Institute (YQI).
All student researchers working at Wright Lab (WL), the Yale Physics Department, the Yale Astronomy Department, the Yale Quantum Institute (YQI), and those in certain associated programs at Hopkins Authentic Research Program in Science (HARPS), SCSU (Werth IAF/Quantum Pie), and QuantumCT during the summer are invited to join the program.
