Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of NIST's research, we encourage students to look through the different laboratory websites below to discover lots of interesting project areas. For example, a chemistry student may find project opportunities in ITL, PL, EL and CNST, in addition to the logical choice of MML. Similar opportunities exist for those in other disciplines.
