2026 SURP Student Spotlights

The annual Summer Undergraduate Research Program (SURP) in astronomy & astrophysics at the University of Toronto is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students in astronomy, physics or engineering to prepare for a career in scientific research.

Throughout the program students have the opportunity to:

• Experience what a career in research is like by independently conducting a project related to on-going astronomical research at U of T

• Collaborate with U of T astronomers

• Improve their research writing and communication skills

• Learn about research being conducted at U of T

• Participate in U of T public outreach

Students work with astronomers from the Dunlap Institute or the David A Dunlap Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics (DADDAA) depending on their research interest, choice of research project, or supervisor.
