Research Experience for Undergraduates-Physics

罗切斯特大学的REU物理学课程使全国的大学生和大三学生能够与物理学和天文学系的成员一起进行夏季研究项目，目标是妇女和代表性不足的少数民族的参与率达到50%。学生选择以下实验和理论研究领域：粒子和核物理学;量子光学和激光;天体物理学和红外天文学;凝聚态物理学;生物和医学物理学;等离子体物理学;和物理教育。学生的研究工作通过电子和机械加工的迷你课程，每周午餐时间的讨论，罗切斯特地区的短途旅行以及参与该部门社区外展活动的机会来增强。 学生准备他们的结果的摘要和演示文稿，并鼓励（并提供财政支持）在国家会议上介绍他们的工作，如NCUR，美国物理学会的会议，和物理学生的罗切斯特研讨会。

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.
