REU Site: SURFing the Physics Lab: A NIST-NSF Partnership for AMO Physics

通过暑期本科生研究奖学金（SURF），冲浪物理实验室：NIST-NSF物理合作伙伴关系将继续为国家标准与技术研究院物理实验室提供机会，鼓励优秀的物理学学生追求科学事业。在过去的七年中，NSF-NIST SURF项目让学生接触到了世界一流的原子、分子、光学和辐射物理学家以及NIST物理实验室的设备。在此期间，NSF-NIST SURF项目每年平均接待来自12个或更多本科院校的24名学生，从事具有国家和国际重要性的研究项目。被选中的学生将在盖瑟斯堡的物理实验室进行为期12周的物理研究，与NIST的物理学家一对一地进行项目研究，这些项目结合了对基础知识的探索和对国家重要问题的直接应用，并学习研究事业的非学术选择。学生们还将参加每周的冲浪物理实验室夏季系列研讨会。SURF学生将在NIST进行研究研讨会，并鼓励他们在下一学年参加当地或国家科学会议。

Through Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF), SURFing the Physics Lab: A NIST-NSF Partnership for Physics will continue to provide an opportunity for the Physics Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to encourage outstanding physics students to pursue scientific careers. For the past seven years, the NSF-NIST SURF program has exposed students to world-class atomic, molecular, optical and radiation physicists and facilities in the NIST Physics Laboratory. Over this time, the NSF-NIST SURF program has been a host to an annual average of twenty-four students from twelve or more undergraduate institutions to pursue research projects of national and international importance. The selected group of students will spend twelve weeks engaged in physics research at the Physics Laboratory's Gaithersburg site, working one on one with NIST staff physicists in projects that combine the quest for fundamental knowledge and direct applications to problems of national importance, and learning about nonacademic alternatives for research careers. The students will also participate in the weekly SURFing the Physics Lab Summer Seminar Series. SURF students will present a research seminar at NIST and be encouraged to participate in a local or national scientific conference during the following academic year.
