REU Site: Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Atomic, Molecular, and Laser Physics

SRI国际分子物理实验室（MPL）支持国家科学基金会的本科生研究经验（REU）计划的网站。 MPL在原子，分子和激光物理学的基础和应用研究方面享有世界声誉。 在过去的八年中，81名本科生参加了MPL的REU计划（74与NSF的支持），与博士合作。MPL工作人员的导师在这些领域的各种实验和理论研究问题。 我们建议再次招募高素质的本科生;与他们合作，以确定学生，导师和研究项目的最佳匹配;并提供夏季研究计划。 我们将继续为每个学生提供正式和非正式的机会，进行令人兴奋的研究，讨论他们的工作，目前的项目成果，并与SRI工作人员导师探索科学职业的可能性。 我们希望这个REU计划继续产生学生/导师共同撰写的演讲和出版物，本科生谁有博士的工作更好的感觉。一个研究所的物理学家和一个被年轻科学家的活力和新视角所更新的研究人员。

Molecular Physics Laboratory (MPL) of SRI International supports a site for the National Science Foundation's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program. The MPL has a worldwide reputation for its fundamental and applied research in atomic, molecular, and laser physics. During the past eight years, 81 undergraduate students have participated in MPL's REU program (74 with NSF support), collaborating with Ph.D. mentors on the MPL staff on a wide variety of experimental and theoretical research problems in these areas. We propose to again recruit highly qualified undergraduate students; to work with them to identify the best match of student, mentor, and research project; and to provide a summer research program. We will continue to provide each student with opportunities both formal and informal to perform exciting research, discuss their work, present project results, and explore science career possibilities with SRI staff mentors. We expect this REU program to continue to produce student/mentor co-authored presentations and publications, undergraduates who have a better sense of the work of Ph.D. physicists at a research institute, and a research staff renewed by the energy and fresh perspective of young scientists.
