Abstract for REU Site: Design, Application, Analysis and Control of Interfaces (DAACI)Institution: Purdue UniversityPrincipal Investigator: Stephen P. BeaudoinThis REU award for a Site on Design, Application, Analysis and Control of Interfaces (DAACI) supports 8 undergraduate students each year for three years in a 10-week summer research experience at Purdue University. In addition to performing research mentored by faculty and graduate students, the undergraduate students participate in a number of technical and social events which will allow them to integrate with other REU participants, including group lunches with faculty and graduate students, research group discussions, and outings to regional recreation areas and local industry. The DAACI research projects target interfaces for chemical, electronic, optical, mechanical and biological applications, with key dimensions from nanometers to hundreds of microns. While the applications are diverse, the research questions are similar: (1) how does one make interfaces with specified composition and specified electronic, mechanical, and biological properties, and (2) how do the interfacial environment and the interface properties influence interface function? The goals of the site are to inspire promising undergraduates to pursue research careers, to train them to succeed as graduate researchers, and to empower them as valued members of the academic community. The broad research theme will allow them a rich palette of research options in emerging scientific areas of significance. The experiences will allow them to work confidently as independent researchers. The DAACI site will target students from underrepresented groups in engineering, will inspire these students to pursue research careers, and will arm them with a solid foundation in the rational approach to research. By motivating a broad spectrum of students to pursue research careers and preparing them to excel in research areas of high technological value, the program will have a very significant influence on future research leaders.

REU研究中心摘要：设计，应用，分析和控制的接口（DAACI）机构：普渡大学首席研究员：斯蒂芬P. Beaudoin这个REU奖的设计，应用，分析和控制的接口（DAACI）网站支持8名本科生每年在普渡大学为期三年的10周的夏季研究经验。 除了由教师和研究生指导进行研究外，本科生还参加了一些技术和社会活动，这将使他们能够与其他REU参与者进行整合，包括与教师和研究生的集体午餐，研究小组讨论以及到区域娱乐区和当地产业的郊游。DAACI研究项目的目标是化学、电子、光学、机械和生物应用的接口，关键尺寸从纳米到数百微米。 虽然应用是多种多样的，但研究问题是相似的：（1）如何使界面具有特定的组成和特定的电子，机械和生物特性，以及（2）界面环境和界面特性如何影响界面功能？该网站的目标是激励有前途的本科生追求研究事业，培养他们成为成功的研究生研究人员，并使他们成为学术界的重要成员。 广泛的研究主题将使他们在新兴的重要科学领域有丰富的研究选择。这些经验将使他们能够自信地作为独立的研究人员工作。 DAACI网站将针对工程领域代表性不足的群体的学生，激励这些学生追求研究事业，并为他们提供理性研究方法的坚实基础。 通过激励广泛的学生追求研究事业，并准备他们在高技术价值的研究领域出类拔萃，该计划将对未来的研究领导者产生非常重大的影响。
