This award supports the renewal of the REU site in Physics and Astronomy at the University of Toledo. Undergraduate students have a variety of cutting edge research opportunities in topics including Astrophysics/Astronomy; Atomic/Molecular/Optical Physics; Biological/Health/Medical Physics (at the UT Medical Center hospital); and Condensed Matter/Materials Science Physics (with specialization in thin films, photovoltaics, and photonics). Opportunities exist in these areas for both experimental and theoretical research. In photovoltaics, the students may have the opportunity to conduct research at local photovoltaic companies and centers, in addition to departmental research. The research projects are chosen such that the students' projects will lead to eventual publication in the appropriate professional research journals. REU students will be involved in exciting state-of-the-art research in a department that allows individualized attention, yet is large enough to give students experiences in a variety of subfields of physics. A variety of social activities for the REU students are also planned. The REU site is committed to involving students from diverse backgrounds in this research experience.

该奖项支持托莱多大学物理学和天文学的REU网站的更新。 本科生有各种各样的前沿研究机会，包括天体物理学/天文学;原子/分子/光学物理学;生物/健康/医学物理学（在UT医疗中心医院）;和凝聚态/材料科学物理学（在薄膜，光子学和光子学专业）。 在这些领域存在着实验和理论研究的机会。在光伏，学生可能有机会在当地的光伏公司和中心进行研究，除了部门的研究。研究项目的选择，使学生的项目将导致最终在适当的专业研究期刊上发表。 REU学生将在一个允许个性化关注的部门参与令人兴奋的最先进的研究，但又足够大，可以让学生在物理学的各种子领域的经验。还计划为REU学生举办各种社交活动。REU网站致力于让来自不同背景的学生参与这项研究。
