18 IMOD students and counting have now completed industry internships.
They come back with sharper technical skills, a wider network, and a much clearer sense of the career they want.
Connecting trainees to those opportunities is a core part of what we do.

From learning how to best present scientific literature last week to putting those skills into practice this week, our 2026 IMOD REU cohort nailed it! We're proud of these students and excited to watch their confidence grow with every presentation!

Thanks @SamStranks @strankslab for sharing your insights on halide perovskites for cutting-edge solar cells, LEDs, X-ray detectors, and quantum emitters — and how growing these materials layer-by-layer on 2D substrates can enable even higher performance for optoelectronics! 📷
