DJIRE Summer Program
Are you interested in conducting groundbreaking research?
The DJIRE Lab at Texas A&M University is looking to recruit undergraduate students for a 10-week summer research education program.
- Student will be provided the opportunity to network with individuals from other labs pertaining to research interests (https://djire-lab.engr.tamu.edu/research/)
- Undergraduate will attend seminars pertaining to networking, presenting research, and the graduate school application process
Program dates and more information will be available around Spring semester.

Nathan Mathews
I am currently a rising sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin, pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering. This summer, I am conducting research in the DJIRE Lab, where I study the performance of metal-doped titanium and vanadium MXenes for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide.
Joshua Ferguson
I am a rising Sophomore in Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University. My project is about the effect that MXenes have on ammonia production in NRR.
Kash Kalvakota
Howdy! My name is Kash Kalvakota and I am a junior at Texas A&M University pursuing a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Materials Chemistry, with great interest in energy and energy storage. I joined the DJIRE Lab in May 2025, and am researching the energy storage capabilities of titanium-based nitride MXenes in aqueous neutral multivalent electrolytes.
