For the 12th year, the Nebraska Center for Energy Sciences Research (NCESR) offered undergraduate students summer internships in energy sciences research in the amount of up to $6,000 for the summer of 2025. An additional $1,000 travel fund can be requested by the faculty sponsor to use for travel expenses for their sponsored student to present the research conducted during the summer internship at a relevant conference.
The nine recipients of the 2025 summer undergraduate internship were Noah Andersen, majoring in Mechanical Engineering; Octavious Gonzalez, majoring in Chemical Engineering; Tyson Klein, majoring in Electrical Engineering; Macey Moore, majoring in Microbiology and Forensic Science; Vladislav Prakapchuk, majoring in Mechanical Engineering; Yashraj Purbey, majoring in Computer Science; Seth Rogers, majoring in Mechanical Engineering; Cooper Swoboda, majoring in Mechanical Engineering; Braedyn Thompson, majoring in Electrical Engineering.
Each recipient prepared a poster about their research project to present at the Nebraska Summer Research Symposium on August 5, 2025. The symposium was sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs, Graduate Studies, and Office of Undergraduate Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
