This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site at the University of Mississippi, located in Oxford, MS, supports the training of 10 students for 10 weeks during the summers of 2023-2025. Managed by principal investigators Nathan Hammer and Eden Tanner, the site offers original research projects in experimental and theoretical physical chemistry. These research projects foster communication and collaboration between members of physical and computational chemistry groups, which increases literacy in high performance computing and its applicability to chemistry. In addition to participating in research, students develop a deeper knowledge in physical chemistry through faculty-led lectures on topics like quantum chemistry, molecular spectroscopy, and medicinal chemistry. Students engage in a summer-long schedule of organized professional development and social activities with University of Mississippi undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff. These activities are expected to prepare students for chemistry careers and help to build a network of peers and faculty. To broaden participation and develop a diverse chemistry workforce, this site recruits students from throughout the U.S., particularly those from underrepresented groups in chemistry and from institutions with limited research opportunities.Student participants will perform original research in the laboratories of faculty members and using the Mississippi Center for Supercomputing Research (MCSR). Centered around experimental and theoretical physical chemistry, the research projects include synthetic design of light-harvesting, photoemissive, and catalytic materials; characterizing the photophysical properties of newly-developed materials; the spectroscopic study and computational modeling of important biologically relevant interactions; and the synthesis and computational modeling of newly-developed materials with important energy or drug development and delivery applications. Senior personnel mentor students in original research, present lectures on physical chemistry-related topics, administer mini-courses, and organize social activities. Students in the program gain practical experience in the physical sciences, while also applying knowledge in chemistry to real world problems and co-authoring scholarly publications.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。本科生的研究经验（REU）位于密西西比州牛津大学的密西西比大学，在2023-2025的夏季，支持10个学生10周的学生培训10周。该网站由首席研究人员内森·哈默（Nathan Hammer）和伊甸·坦纳（Eden Tanner）管理，提供了实验和理论物理化学的原始研究项目。这些研究项目促进了物理和计算化学群体成员之间的沟通和协作，从而提高了高性能计算及其对化学的适用性。除参与研究外，学生还通过教师主导的讲座对量子化学，分子光谱和药物化学等主题的讲座发展更深入的知识。学生与密西西比大学的本科生和研究生，教职员工一起参加了为期夏季的有组织的专业发展和社交活动时间表。这些活动有望为学生做好化学职业的准备，并有助于建立同龄人和教师网络。为了扩大参与并发展多样化的化学劳动力，该网站招募了来自美国各地的学生，尤其是来自代表性不足的化学群体的学生以及来自研究机会有限的机构的学生。研究员将在教职员工的实验室中进行原始研究，并使用密西西比州超级计算中心的超级计算中心（MCSR）进行原始研究。研究项目围绕实验和理论物理化学，包括光收获，光电子和催化材料的合成设计。表征新开发材料的光物理特性；重要的生物学相关相互作用的光谱研究和计算建模；以及具有重要能量或药物开发和输送应用的新发育材料的合成和计算建模。高级人员指导学生在原始研究中，有关与物理化学相关的主题的演讲，管理迷你仪式以及组织社交活动。该计划中的学生在物理科学方面获得了实践经验，同时还将化学知识应用于现实世界中的问题并共同撰写学术出版物。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的。
