Congratulations to Shawn, an undergraduate researcher in the CeMi group, for being awarded the Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) fellowship. This award will support his research during the Summer quarter, where he will investigate electric-field-driven defect formation in diamond using ab initio simulations. Insights from this project will enable the scalable production of quantum defects, benefiting next-generation technologies in quantum sensing and quantum computing.
Shawn received $1,500 from the SURP fellowship, which provided awards to undergraduate students engaging in intensive, faculty-mentored research projects over the summer quarter. As part of the program, recipients are also required to present their findings at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in May 2026. https://urop.uci.edu/urop-opportunities/#surp
