This award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics at the University of California-Santa Barbara. The site will support eight students per year for nine weeks of summer research in topics including Astronomy/Astrophysics, Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Biophysics/Physics of Living Systems, Condensed Matter Physics, Gravity, Elementary Particle Physics. The REU is intended to be a transformative experience in the career path of the participants, particularly those from institutions with fewer research opportunities, by providing the necessary mentorship to explore their interest in Physics and develop the professional skills needed to succeed in a career in academia or industry.The project will develop research and professional skills of the next generation of academic physicists and the STEM workforce by giving undergraduates the opportunity to participate in cutting edge research, with faculty who have extensive experience in fostering undergraduate research from Freshman to Senior level students. The REU students will engage in research to explore black hole entropy, search for new Physics at the LHC, study the dynamics of morphogenesis, study galaxy formation, discover exoplanets, investigate novel Josephson junctions, perform quantum simulation using ultracold quantum gases, contributing to the creation and advancement of knowledge in a broad variety of research areas, at the same time learning the skills that transfer to a variety of STEM careers.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.

该奖项支持加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的物理学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。该网站将支持每年八名学生为期九周的夏季研究，主题包括天文学/天体物理学，原子，分子和光学物理学，生物物理学/生命系统物理学，凝聚态物理学，引力，基本粒子物理学。REU旨在成为参与者职业道路上的变革性体验，特别是那些来自研究机会较少的机构，通过提供必要的指导，探索他们对物理学的兴趣，并培养在学术界或工业界取得成功所需的专业技能。该项目将通过以下方式培养下一代学术物理学家和STEM劳动力的研究和专业技能：让本科生有机会参与前沿研究，与教师谁拥有丰富的经验，促进本科研究从新生到高年级学生。REU学生将从事研究，探索黑洞熵，在LHC寻找新的物理学，研究形态发生的动力学，研究星系形成，发现系外行星，研究新的约瑟夫森结，使用超冷量子气体进行量子模拟，为各种研究领域的知识创造和进步做出贡献，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
