REU Site: Snapshots of Chemistry: Visualization of Processes at the Molecular Level

该化学部奖支持南加州大学2007-2009年夏季的本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 安娜克雷洛夫是该网站的项目总监。 19名教师将担任导师，并提供以分子水平上可视化化学过程为主题的研究项目。项目包括反应产物的光学成像，飞秒化学实验，X射线晶体学，光谱学和理论模拟。每年夏天将有10名学生参加为期10周的课程。少数民族学生将通过与洛杉矶地区的机构接触招募，这些机构拥有大量代表性不足的群体，并与南加州大学麦克奈尔学者计划协调招募。此外，南加州大学支持的几名国际学生将参加该计划。学生将参加非正式的晚间辅导和研讨会。计划参观洛杉矶地区的几个大型研发实验室。 学生将准备一份关于他们研究的最终书面论文和一份海报展示。评估表将由学生填写，并监测他们未来的职业选择。

This Chemistry Division award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Southern California for the summers of 2007-2009. Anna Krylov is the site's Program Director. Nineteen faculty will serve as mentors and provide research projects centered on the theme of visualizing chemical processes at the molecular level. Projects include optical imaging of reaction products, femtochemistry experiments, X-ray crystallography, spectroscopy, and theoretical simulations. Ten students will be supported each summer in a ten-week program. Minority students will be recruited through contacts with institutions in the Los Angeles area with significant populations of underrepresented groups and by coordinating recruitment with the USC McNair Scholars Program. In addition, several international students supported by USC will participate in the program. Students will participate in informal evening tutorials and seminars. Visits are planned to several large research and development labs in the Los Angeles area. Students will prepare a final written paper and a poster presentation on their research. Evaluation forms will be completed by students and their future career choices monitored.
