Hi All,
I am applying to Rice regular decision and am very interested in the field of nanotechnology (I included this in my essay as well).

I noticed that Rice has a huge focus in nanotech and has the Richard Smalley Institute devoted to research in nanotechnology. How easy is it for an undergrad to gain a research position at the Smalley Institute? Is it only for graduate-level research?

I plan to major in electrical engineering, and would really like to get some experience in microelectronics and modeling of semiconductor devices.

Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
