REU Site: Internship in Supercomputing for Physical Sciences

该奖项支持明尼苏达大学双城分校本科生研究经验（REU）站点在2008-2010年夏季的更新。 该网站由国防部与化学部（CHE）的NSF REU计划合作提供支持。 该计划将由明尼苏达双城大学生物化学、分子生物学和生物物理学系的大卫托马斯指导。 另外七名教师，谁是技术研究所和医学院的计算专家，将担任研究顾问。 这个REU网站将带来八名学生明尼苏达州超级计算研究所为期十周的时间，每年夏天进行尖端研究在物理科学中使用超级计算方法。 围绕科学可视化和图形这一主题开发了学生个人项目。 本科生将在全国范围内招收，特别是从本科生研究机会有限的机构。

This award supports the renewal of a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for the summers of 2008-2010. This site is supported by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program in the Division of Chemistry (CHE). The program will be directed by David Thomas of the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biophysics at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Seven additional faculty members, who are computational experts in the Institute of Technology and the Medical School, will serve as research advisors. This REU site will bring eight students to the Minnesota Supercomputing Institute for a ten-week period each summer to conduct-cutting edge research in the use of supercomputing methods in the physical sciences. Individual student projects have been developed around this theme of scientific visualization and graphics. Undergraduate students will be recruited nationally particularly from institutions with limited opportunities for undergraduate research.
