REU Site: Research Experience for Undergraduates: Chemical, Optical, Nonlinear, and Condensed Matter Physics

佐治亚理工学院物理学院将继续开展本科生研究体验项目（REU）。该计划将涵盖化学、光学、非线性和凝聚态物理，但也已扩展到包括MEMS（微电子机械系统）、生物医学成像和材料科学-显微镜的项目。12名REU学生参加了该项目（10名由美国国家科学基金会支持，2名由佐治亚理工学院支持），并选择参加由18名教师调查人员组成的研究小组。参与本科生研究训练的教师的丰富经验为研究生和博士后等支持团队进行本科生研究训练提供了理想的环境。密切监控的研究环境辅以(1)每周由参与的教师和学生举办的研讨会，(2)教师与学生的午餐，(3)参观包括洛克希德飞机在内的先进技术设施，(4)合理但不打扰的有组织的社会活动，因为学生们被鼓励利用自己在亚特兰大地区的几个文化机会，根据他们的个人兴趣。在夏季会议结束时，每个学生在美国物理学会格式的15-20分钟的REU研讨会上展示他们的研究成果。

The Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Program will be continued in the School of Physics of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The program will encompass Chemical, Optical, Nonlinear, and Condensed Matter Physics but also has been expanded to include projects in MEMS (Micro-electrical Mechanical Systems), Biomedical Imaging, and Material Science- Microscopy. Twelve REU students participate in the program (ten supported by NSF, two by Georgia Tech), with the choice of participation in the research groups of 18 faculty investigators. The considerable experience of the participating faculty in undergraduate research training furnishes an ideal environment to pursue undergraduate research training among the supportive cast including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. The closely monitored research environment is supplemented by (1) weekly seminars presented by both participating faculty and students, (2) faculty-student luncheons, (3) excursions to advanced technology facilities including Lockheed Aircraft, (4) a reasonable but not intrusive number of organized social events as students are encouraged to avail themselves of several cultural opportunities in the Atlanta area dictated by their individual interest. At the end of the summer session, each student presents the results of their research endeavors in a REU Symposium run in the American Physical Society format of 15-20- minute presentations.
