Many aspects of self-assembly design problems are accessible to undergraduate students, and much of the work presented on this site has been completed by students from Saint Michael's College as part of on going Research Experience for Undergraduate Students (REU) programs supported variously by the National Science Foundation, the Vermont Space Grant Consortium, and the Vermont Genetics Network.
