Wide/Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductor Technologies and Applications (WUBSTA) — a National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at Texas Tech University.
The NSF REU Site in Wide/Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductor Technologies and Applications (WUBSTA) hosts undergraduate researchers each summer at Texas Tech University. Students work alongside faculty and graduate mentors on wide bandgap (WBG) and ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors and their applications in power electronics, RF, optoelectronics, and sensing — gaining hands-on experience, building research skills, and joining a supportive community that prepares them for graduate school and STEM careers.
