REU Site in Physics at Howard University

霍华德大学的本科生研究体验(REU)网站每年夏天为6名本科生提供参与不同物理领域主题研究的机会。除了与经验丰富的导师一起参与研究外，REU的学生还将参加每周的活动，以确保他们的研究不仅保持在正轨上，而且他们有一次引人入胜的大学和学术经历。到项目结束时，每个学生都将准备好一张海报，对研究进行口头陈述，并撰写最终报告。作为美国第一所历史上的黑人大学，霍华德大学以为女性和代表不足的少数族裔提供在研究职业生涯中脱颖而出的机会而闻名。十名教师导师将在与大气物理、计算和实验纳米物理和凝聚态物质、弦理论和激光光谱学相关的项目中指导学生。通过指导和接触令人兴奋的研究工具和方法，学生将获得特定方法方面的技能，同时培养对物理学在广泛科学事业中的应用的敏锐意识。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at Howard University provides six undergraduate students each summer the opportunity to participate in research on topics in various fields of physics. In addition to participating in research with an experienced mentor, the REU students will engage in weekly activities to ensure not only that their research stays on track but that they have an engaging collegial and scholarly experience. By the end of the program, every student will have prepared a poster, made an oral presentation of the research, and written a final report.As the nation's first Historically Black University, Howard University is known for offering opportunities for women and under-represented minorities to excel in research careers. Ten faculty mentors will mentor students in projects related to atmospheric physics, computational and experimental nanophysics and condensed matter, string theory, and laser spectroscopy. Through mentoring and exposure to exciting research tools and methods, students will acquire skills in specific methodology while developing a keen awareness of the applications of physics to a broad range of science careers.
