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

本科生研究体验(REU)计划将在佐治亚理工学院物理学院继续进行。该计划将涵盖化学、光学、非线性和凝聚态物理，但也已扩大到包括MEMS(微电子机械系统)、生物医学成像和材料科学-显微镜方面的项目。12名REU学生参加了该项目(10名由NSF资助，2名由佐治亚理工学院资助)，他们可以选择参加由18名教职调查人员组成的研究小组。参与本科生研究培训的教员具有丰富的经验，这为在包括研究生和博士后研究员在内的支持性团队中进行本科生研究培训提供了理想的环境。受到密切关注的研究环境还包括(1)每周由参与的师生举办的研讨会，(2)师生午餐会，(3)参观包括洛克希德飞机在内的先进技术设施，(4)合理但不具侵入性的有组织的社交活动，因为学生被鼓励利用他们个人兴趣所决定的亚特兰大地区的几个文化机会。在暑期课程结束时，每个学生在REU研讨会上展示他们的研究成果，研讨会以美国物理学会的形式进行，演讲时间为15-20分钟。

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.
