This award supports the Training and Research Experiences in Nonlinear Dynamics (TREND) REU Site at the University of Maryland. TREND's goal is to involve undergraduate students in frontier research on nonlinear dynamics. The program will involve approximately 10 students who will spend 11 weeks in the summer on campus involved in research in small teams. Research projects will be theoretical, experimental or both. Examples of research topics are: theoretical studies of spatio-temporal chaos and synchronism of chaotic systems, experimental studies of patterns in granular media, the development of singularities in fluids and solids, nonlinear dynamics in optical systems, nonlinear dynamics in charged particle beams and devices, and turbulence and nonlinear phenomena in plasmas. A seminar series will complement, and reinforce the learning experience. Students will present the results of their research at the end of the session. The conference will be held on campus, but will include guests, researchers, and referees (for the best paper competition) from off-campus locations as well. The program targets talented students who have completed their sophomore year in the physical sciences or engineering. Effort will be made to recruit students from under represented groups and students from schools lacking similar research opportunities. The site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program.

该奖项支持马里兰州大学非线性动力学（趋势）REU网站的培训和研究经验。趋势的目标是让本科生参与非线性动力学的前沿研究。该计划将涉及大约10名学生谁将花11个星期在夏季在校园里参与小团队的研究。研究项目将是理论，实验或两者兼而有之。研究课题的例子有：时空混沌和混沌系统同步的理论研究，颗粒介质中模式的实验研究，流体和固体中奇点的发展，光学系统中的非线性动力学，带电粒子束和设备中的非线性动力学，以及等离子体中的湍流和非线性现象。一系列研讨会将补充和加强学习经验。学生将在会议结束时提出他们的研究结果。会议将在校园内举行，但也将包括来自校外地点的嘉宾，研究人员和裁判（最佳论文竞赛）。该计划的目标是有才华的学生谁已经完成了他们的大二在物理科学或工程。将努力从代表性不足的群体和缺乏类似研究机会的学校招收学生。该网站由国防部与NSF REU计划合作支持。
