REU Site: Internship in Supercomputing for Physical Sciences

该奖项支持更新明尼苏达双城大学2008-2010年夏季的本科生研究体验(REU)网站。该网站由国防部与化学部(CHE)的NSF REU计划合作提供支持。该项目将由明尼苏达双城大学生物化学、分子生物学和生物物理系的大卫·托马斯指导。另外七名教员将担任研究顾问，他们是理工学院和医学院的计算专家。这个REU网站每年夏天将把8名学生带到明尼苏达超级计算研究所，为期10周，在物理科学中使用超级计算方法进行尖端研究。围绕科学可视化和图形学这一主题开发了个别的学生项目。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招收。

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.
