NON-TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This is a ten-week summer residential research participation experience that engages undergraduate students in full-time active research collaborations with faculty, research professionals, and graduate students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. A selection of research projects in Physics and Applied Physics spanning from energy applications to fundamental science is provided. In addition to their own research area, students will be exposed to a variety of research topics and methodologies through regular research seminars and student presentations. Further breadth will be developed through visits to nearby research facilities. Students will gain experience in presenting their results by making oral and written presentations throughout the summer. This project impacts the research and development competitiveness of the United States by recruiting excellent students into STEM research fields and by training these students to perform leading-edge research in technologically important fields.TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: This is a ten-week summer residential research participation experience that engages undergraduate students in full-time active research collaborations with faculty, research professionals, and graduate students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Undergraduate students are both mentored individually by research faculty and engage in group professional development activities. Research projects are cutting-edge in Physics and Applied Physics and include particle and galactic astrophysics, computational physics, nano- and low-dimensional materials, photonics and ultrafast optics, geophysics, complex systems, educational physics, and the chemistry, optoelectronics, and physics of solar energy conversion. In addition to their own research area, students will be exposed to a variety of research topics and methodologies through a series of research seminars and student presentations. Further breadth will be developed through visits to nearby research facilities. To assist in their professional development, students also participate in tutorials on ethics, applying to graduate school, scientific writing and giving scientific presentations. Students gain experience in presenting their results by making oral and written presentations throughout the summer. This project impacts the research and development competitiveness of the United States by recruiting excellent students into STEM research fields and by training these students to perform leading-edge research in technologically important fields.

非技术描述：这是为期十周的夏季住宿研究参与体验，让本科生与伦斯勒理工学院的教师、研究专业人员和研究生进行全职积极的研究合作。 提供了从能源应用到基础科学的一系列物理和应用物理研究项目。除了自己的研究领域外，学生还将通过定期的研究研讨会和学生演讲接触各种研究主题和方法。通过参观附近的研究设施，将进一步拓展研究范围。学生将在整个夏天通过口头和书面陈述来获得展示结果的经验。该项目通过招募优秀学生进入 STEM 研究领域并培训这些学生在重要技术领域进行前沿研究，影响美国的研究和开发竞争力。技术描述：这是为期十周的暑期住宿研究参与体验，让本科生与伦斯勒理工学院的教师、研究专业人员和研究生进行全职积极的研究合作。 本科生均接受研究人员的单独指导，并参与团体专业发展活动。研究项目处于物理学和应用物理学的前沿，包括粒子和星系天体物理学、计算物理学、纳米和低维材料、光子学和超快光学、地球物理学、复杂系统、教育物理学以及太阳能转换的化学、光电子学和物理学。除了自己的研究领域外，学生还将通过一系列研究研讨会和学生演讲接触各种研究主题和方法。通过参观附近的研究设施，将进一步拓展研究范围。为了帮助他们的专业发展，学生还参加道德辅导、申请研究生院、科学写作和进行科学演讲。学生在整个夏天通过口头和书面陈述获得展示结果的经验。该项目通过招募优秀学生进入 STEM 研究领域并培训这些学生在重要技术领域进行前沿研究，影响美国的研发竞争力。
