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

有了这个奖项，化学部支持本科生研究经验（REU）网站由博士凯瑟琳·J.墨菲在化学和生物化学系在南卡罗来纳州的大学。 在全国范围内招募的10名参与者将参加从纳米科学研究中选择的项目，这些项目侧重于合成导电聚合物，使用胶体半导体作为生物分子系统中的光学传感器，使用扫描探针显微镜选择性地取代组装中的单个分子，追踪纳米团簇中能量流的路线以及超分子构象的理论计算。 活动，如座谈会和有组织的实验室和讲座辅导的目的是刺激学生与教师和学生与学生的互动。

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.
