The Research Experience for Veteran Undergraduates
Where enlisted U.S. veteran undergraduates in STEM develop world-class research skills.
Welcome to The REVU Program
The Research Experience for Veteran Undergraduates is an intense, 9-week summer program hosted by Yale University where enlisted U.S. veteran undergraduate students perform research in a STEM field of their interest and develop skills necessary to become a research scientist.

Professor Marla Geha
Program Director
Dr. Geha is a Professor in the Astronomy Department and Physics Department at Yale University and the Director of Yale Telescope resources. Dr. Geha uses the world's largest telescopes to study the Universe's smallest galaxies. Her research focuses on the origin and evolution of dwarf galaxies with the goal of using these objects to answer fundamental questions in astrophysics and cosmology. Dr. Geha serves on the Board of Directors of the Warrior Scholar Project.
Jeremy Bradford, Ph.D.
Program Manager
Dr. Bradford is the Program Manager for REVU. Since completing his Ph.D. in astronomy, he has worked in the Yale Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning as the Assistant STEM Education Program director and is currently the Director of Operations for the Warrior-Scholar Project . He is interested in creating, implementing, and improving curricula using both modern teaching methods and real-world applications, particularly in support of nontraditional and underrepresented students.
"I am forever grateful for a program like REVU. If I never would have applied or been accepted, I probably would not be considering a Ph.D. program right now. It was a great experience to show myself that I can be a contributing member in a real lab environment. A huge problem that veterans face in academia is imposter syndrome and feeling like they don't belong. The REVU program gives us a real chance of proving to ourselves that we can succeed."
- Frederick Cordova, U.S. Navy Veteran, Columbia University, 2019 REVU Fellow
