REU Site: Appalachian Mathematics and Physics Site

马歇尔大学数学和物理系将在2024年至2026年的夏季举办为期八周的REU网站。该计划有五个主要目标：一半的参与者将在阿巴拉契亚地区上大学，参与者将获得在数学和物理项目中沟通和合作的有用技能，该计划将在各种数学和物理主题上产生高质量的研究，参与者将在stem相关的职业中获得有酬就业或进入研究生院，至少40%的参与者将进入研究生院或在阿巴拉契亚地区工作。资金将用于支持本科研究会议与马歇尔大学其他现有的夏季研究活动，该计划的参与者将参加并展示他们的工作。每年夏天，一个由十名本科生组成的小组将获得资助，在位于西弗吉尼亚州亨廷顿的马歇尔大学校园工作和生活八周。在第一周，迎新活动将开始，包括研究伦理的讨论、项目介绍和正式的研究小组。本年度的项目将在这个时候介绍给学生各种各样的数学和物理项目，包括但不限于多信使天体物理学和逆散射的计算项目，纺织染料过滤的实验室研究，以及复杂分析和特殊函数理论的纯数学项目。在第二周到第七周期间，参与者将全职从事他们的研究，定期观看REU组织者邀请的演讲者的演讲，并定期向同龄人介绍他们的研究。在最后一周，将参加新的夏季本科生研究会议和最终研究报告。AMPS项目网页将设在http://amps.marshall.edu/。本项目由本科生数学科学研究经验计划和促进竞争性研究的既定计划（EPSCoR）共同资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Department of Mathematics and Physics at Marshall University will host an eight-week REU Site during Summers 2024 through 2026. The program has five main objectives: half of participants will attend university in the Appalachian region, participants will obtain useful skills in communicating and collaborating on mathematics and physics projects, the program will produce high quality research on a variety of mathematics and physics topics, participants will achieve gainful employment in a STEM-adjacent career or attend graduate school, and at least 40% of participants will attend graduate school or work in the Appalachian region. Funding will be used to support an undergraduate research conference in conjunction with other existing summer research activities at Marshall University, and participants in this program will attend and present their work.Each summer, a cohort of ten undergraduate students will be funded to work and live on the campus of Marshall University in Huntington, WV for eight weeks. During the first week, orientation activities will commence, including a discussion on research ethics, introductions to projects, and formalizing research groups. The slate of projects for the year will be introduced to students at this time with a variety of projects across mathematics and physics, including, but not limited to, computational projects on multi-messenger astrophysics and inverse scattering, laboratory research on filtration of textile dyes, and pure mathematical projects in complex analysis and special functions theory. During weeks two through seven, participants will be working full time on their research, regularly see presentations by speakers invited by the REU organizers, and regularly give presentations on their research to peers. In the final week, attendance at the new summer undergraduate research conference and final writeups of research will occur. The AMPS program webpage will be hosted at http://amps.marshall.edu/. This project is jointly funded by the Mathematical Sciences Research Experiences for Undergraduates Sites Program and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).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.
