USCB Freshman Piper Davis Awarded Prestigious Department of Energy Internship
Piper Davis, a USCB freshman in the Beaufort College Honors program, has been awarded
the U.S. Department of Energy's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI)
at the Savannah River National Laboratory for the Summer 2022 term.
Davis will be participating in a project titled "Carbon and Water Dynamics".
The project will study CO2 in vegetation at the Savannah River Site and monitor meteorology and water and carbon fluxes to determine how the fluxes are affected by weather events.
The Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program encourages undergraduate students and recent graduates to pursue science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers by providing research experiences at the Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as interns appointed at one of 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. They perform research, under the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers, on projects supporting the DOE mission.
The SULI program is sponsored and managed by the DOE Office of Science and Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), in collaboration with the DOE laboratories/facilities.
This is a highly competitive program that allows those selected to do research with some of the most talented scientists in the world.
