项目摘要

Technical SummaryEach year, nine undergraduates from diverse backgrounds and a broad spectrum of institutions are recruited for a 10-week summer research experience in materials physics at Georgetown University. Students engage in experimental, computational, and theoretical research projects in nanoscale physics, soft matter, device physics, active matter, biophysics, and cold-atom systems. Taking advantage of Georgetown's location in the nation's capital, students are exposed to the role of science, particularly materials research, in public policy. These activities build on Georgetown's existing programs designed to engage undergraduate science majors directly with the government on issues of national importance, and help build an understanding of the connection between scientific research and the world outside of the laboratory. Students also participate in a variety of professional development activities, many of which are held jointly with the REU in the Georgetown Biology Department.Non-Technical SummaryThe National Science Foundation supported Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Materials Physics at Georgetown University provides undergraduates from diverse backgrounds and a broad spectrum of institutions an opportunity to engage in important and challenging research in the fundamental science of materials, while developing technical and professional skills necessary for a successful career in science. In addition, students are exposed to the role of science, particularly materials research, in public policy, and meet with science policy practitioners in the Nation's Capital. Recruitment efforts focus on students from schools with limited research programs, as well as members of underrepresented groups. The engagement in focused research projects, exploration of the broader role of science and scientists in society, and development of lasting relationships with faculty mentors positively influences student perceptions of careers in science and helps increase the pool of future materials researchers. In addition, students who complete this REU are uniquely qualified to understand and communicate the importance of materials science in technological progress and in addressing societal challenges

每年，来自不同背景和广泛机构的9名本科生被招募到乔治敦大学进行为期10周的材料物理夏季研究。学生从事纳米级物理，软物质，器件物理，活性物质，生物物理和冷原子系统的实验，计算和理论研究项目。利用乔治敦在国家首都的位置，学生们接触到科学的作用，特别是材料研究，在公共政策。这些活动建立在乔治敦大学现有的计划，旨在从事本科科学专业直接与政府对国家重要性的问题，并帮助建立科学研究和实验室外的世界之间的连接的理解。学生还参加各种专业发展活动，其中许多是与乔治敦生物系的REU联合举办的。非技术摘要国家科学基金会支持的材料物理本科生研究经验在乔治敦大学提供来自不同背景和广泛的机构的本科生有机会从事基础科学的重要和具有挑战性的研究，材料，同时发展必要的技术和专业技能，在科学事业取得成功。此外，学生接触到科学的作用，特别是材料研究，在公共政策，并满足与科学政策从业者在国家的资本。招募工作的重点是来自研究项目有限的学校的学生，以及代表性不足的群体的成员。在重点研究项目的参与，科学和科学家在社会中的更广泛的作用的探索，并与教师导师的持久关系的发展积极影响学生的职业生涯在科学的看法，并有助于增加未来的材料研究人员的池。此外，谁完成这个REU的学生是唯一有资格了解和沟通材料科学在技术进步和应对社会挑战的重要性
