REU Site: Physics at UC Davis

该奖项支持更新加州大学戴维斯分校的本科生物理研究经验（REU）网站。每年，REU计划将提供来自美国各地的八至十一名学生有机会参加为期十周的夏季研究计划。REU学生与教师导师密切合作，在凝聚态物理学，生物物理学，复杂系统，核物理学，高能物理学和天体物理学领域进行为期十周的研究项目。除了他们的具体研究项目，学生们从他们与教师，研究生和其他REU学生的互动，并从实地考察显示在不同的设置物理相关的工作学习。在计划结束时，每个参与者都会给出一个正式的研究报告，并提交一份书面项目报告，该报告可以导致同行评审的出版物。一系列教育和社会活动加强了研究工作。这些活动使学生能够将他们的研究经验放在更广阔的视野中，建立专业联系网络，并在科学环境中培养专业技能。

This award supports the renewal of the physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of California - Davis. Each year, the REU program will provide eight to eleven students from around the United States an opportunity to participate in a ten-week summer research program. REU students work closely with a faculty mentor on a ten-week research project in the areas of condensed matter physics, biophysics, complex systems, nuclear physics, high energy physics, and astrophysics. In addition to their specific research project, the students learn from their interactions with faculty, graduate students, and other REU students, and from field trips showing physics-related work in diverse settings. At the end of the program, each participant gives a formal research presentation and presents a written project report that can lead to a peer reviewed publication. Research work is augmented by an array of educational and social activities. These activities allow students to put their research experience in a wider perspective, to build a network of professional contacts, and to develop professional skills in a scientific environment.
