• High Achieving High School Students in Physics

There are very few opportunities in Houston for engaging elite high school students interested in physics with research faculty at the various regional universities. To address this need, and to enhance the image and vitality of the Texas Southern University Physics program, for the last four years we have partnered with some of the top STEM high school students in the region, availing well qualified students the opportunity to engage in research collaborations resulting in peer reviewed publications.
