Berkeley Physics is proud to announce the Physics Innovators Initiative (Pi2) Scholars for Summer, 2025
These undergraduates will have the opportunity to do research, learn to design the tools that enable such research, develop their scientific independence, and realize their potential as physicists. Each Pi2 scholar will work closely with dedicated graduate student and/or postdoc mentors on their projects. Pi2 Scholars will also participate in a number of activities with their cohorts which could include lectures, roundtable discussions, and hiking...

Over the summer, ten Berkeley Physics undergraduates became the first cohort of students to participate in hands-on research through the Pi² Summer Scholars Program. With generous funding from donors, each student researcher was awarded a stipend package in support of their work.
This new program is designed to increase research opportunities for undergraduate physics majors, especially those who might not have the financial means to support themselves while participating in research. The program also helps guide students through the often challenging process of finding a research...
