Undergraduate Research in the Photochemical Sciences: REU Site

本科生研究经验(REU)现场项目是在化学学科和光化学的子领域。从1989年4月开始，在为期三年的时间里，九(9)名本科生将与鲍灵格林州立大学光化学中心的八(8)名教职员工一起进行十(10)周的基础研究。这个REU网站的一个独特之处是它将工业(美赞臣成像)和学术界(鲍林格林)紧密结合在一起，从而为本科生提供了一个机会，让他们感受到研究职业可以提供什么。因此，研究项目的范围从研究辐射吸收或发射的基本物理到描述光敏化分子对光的吸收在肿瘤细胞中引起的化学和生物变化。美国工业在很大程度上依赖于光化学。摄影、静电复印、无溶剂印刷和光伏电池的制造是光化学科学众多技术应用中的四个例子。

This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site project is in the discipline of chemistry and the subfield of photochemistry. For a three year period, beginning April 1989, nine (9) undergraduate students will spend ten (10) weeks engaged in basic research with eight (8) faculty members in the Center for Photochemical Sciences at Bowling Green State University. A unique feature of this REU site is its close coupling of industry (Mead Imaging) and academia (Bowling Green), thereby providing an opportunity for undergraduate students to sense what research careers can provide. Research projects thus range from investigating the fundamental physics of the absorption or emission of radiation to describing the chemical and biological changes in a tumor cell caused by light absorption by a photosensitizing molecule. American industry depends heavily on the photochemical sciences. Photography, xerography, solventless printing, and the manufacture of photovoltaic cells are four examples of the many technological applications of photochemical science that can be cited.
