Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Chemistry at the University of South Carolina

通过这个奖项，化学部支持南卡罗来纳大学化学和生物化学系凯瑟琳·J·墨菲博士指导的本科生研究经验(REU)网站。这10名参与者从全国招募，将参加从纳米科学研究中挑选的项目，重点是导电聚合物的合成、在生物分子系统中使用胶体半导体作为光学传感器、使用扫描探针显微镜选择性地取代组装中的单分子、纳米团簇中能量流动的跟踪路线以及超分子构象的理论计算。研讨会、有组织的实验室和讲课教程等活动旨在促进学生与教职员工以及学生与学生之间的互动。

With this award, the Chemistry Division supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site directed by Dr. Catherine J. Murphy in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of South Carolina. The ten participants, recruited nationally, will take part in projects chosen from nanoscience research focused on the synthesis of conducting polymers, the use of colloidal semiconductors as optical sensors in biomolecular systems, the use of scanning probe microscopy to selectively replace single molecules in assemblies, the tracing routes of energy flow in nanoclusters and theoretical calculations of supramolecular conformations. Activities such as symposia and organized laboratory and lecture tutorials are designed to stimulate student-faculty and student-student interactions.
