REU Site at the University of Memphis: A Summer at the Interface of Theory and Experiment

化学部门奖支持本科生研究经验（REU）网站在孟菲斯大学2004-2006年夏季。Abby L. Parrill是该网站的项目主管，R. Gregory Peters是联合项目负责人。化学系的8名教师将在每年夏天为8名学生担任为期10周的学生导师。将从邻近中南部地区的四年制大学招收学生，并特别努力招收代表性不足的学生。本网站的主题是促进理论与实验之间协同作用的探索。研究项目包括五个传统领域（分析、生物化学、无机、物理和有机）。将有关于计算建模和写作技巧的研讨会，以及定期的期刊阅读、研究会议和一天的总结演讲。

The Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Memphis for the summers of 2004-2006. Abby L. Parrill is the site's program director and R. Gregory Peters is the co-PI. Eight faculty from the Department of Chemistry will serve as student mentors to 8 students each summer for ten weeks. Students will be recruited from four-year colleges in the mid-south neighboring area with special efforts made to recruit students from underrepresented groups. The theme of this site is to promote exploration of the synergy between theory and experiment. The research projects encompass the five traditional areas (analytical, biochemistry, inorganic, physical and organic). There will be workshops on computational modeling and writing skills, along with regular journal readings, research meetings and a wrap-up day of presentations.
