Research Experience for Undergraduates-Physics

罗彻斯特大学的REU物理项目使全国的大二和大三学生能够与物理和天文学系的成员一起进行暑期研究项目，目标是女性和代表性不足的少数民族参与50%。学生可以选择以下实验和理论研究领域：粒子和核物理；量子光学与激光；天体物理学和红外天文学；凝聚态物理；生物和医学物理学；等离子体物理;还有物理教育。学生的研究工作通过电子和机械加工的迷你课程、每周的午餐讨论、罗切斯特地区的短途旅行以及参与该部门的社区外展活动的机会得到加强。学生准备他们的研究结果的摘要和报告，并鼓励（并提供资金支持）在国家会议上展示他们的工作，如NCUR，美国物理学会会议和罗切斯特物理学生研讨会。

The University of Rochester's REU program in Physics enables sophomores and juniors nationwide to undertake summer research projects with members of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and aims at 50% participation by women and underrepresented minorities. Students choose from the following experimental and theoretical research areas: particle and nuclear physics; quantum optics and lasers; astrophysics and infrared astronomy; condensed matter physics; biological and medical physics; plasma physics; and physics education. Students' research work is augmented by mini-courses in electronics and machining, weekly lunchtime discussions, excursions in the Rochester area, and opportunities to engage in the department's community outreach activities. Students prepare abstracts and presentations of their results, and are encouraged (and provided financial support) to present their work at national conferences, such as NCUR, meetings of the American Physical Society, and the Rochester Symposium for Physics Students.
