TDLI Astronomy Research Experiences for Undergraduates Summer 2025
The Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI), founded in November 2016 with Nobel Laureates Prof. Tsung Dao Lee as the Honorary Director and Prof. Frank Wilczek as the Founding Director, is a leading research institute focusing on high-energy physics, astrophysics, and quantum physics. Currently directed by Prof. Jie Zhang, TDLI aims to foster world-class research in physics and astronomy.
We are delighted to introduce the TDLI Astronomy Research Experiences for Undergraduates (TDLI Astro REU), designed to offer domestic undergraduate students a unique opportunity to develop their professional expertise in the field of astrophysics. Participants will have the chance to engage in our active academic events and immerse themselves in a culturally rich environment.
