REU: Space Physics and Instrumentation at UAH

PI建议让一些本科生参与 暑期实习项目 研究领域都是 在UAH物理系内的领域，包括空间 等离子体物理学、光学和材料科学。 相关 在“空间物理”的统一主题下， 和仪器”;学生将参与研究 用于建筑和光学的材料 空间仪器的特性，以及在 从这些天文仪器中获得的科学回报。 的 学生和他们的指导教师，将定期举行会议， 小组讨论进展情况。 拟议的专题包括 真正的研究努力，但实际上可以完成， 一个夏天 招聘对象主要是本地以外的学生 但在东南部地区。 学生们将有 与科学家和设施互动的许多机会 无论是在当地的工业和附近的美国宇航局马歇尔空间 飞行中心。

The PI proposes to involve a number of undergraduate students in a summer internship program. The fields of study are all thrust areas within the Department of Physics at UAH, and include space plasma physics, optics, and materials sceince. The related topics are presented under the unified theme of "Space Physics and Instrumentation"; students will be involved in the study of materials used in the construction of, and optical characteristics of, space instrumentation, as well as in the scientific return from such astronomical instruments. The students, and their advising faculty, will meet regularly as a group to discuss progress. The proposed topics constitute genuine research endeavors, yet can realistically be completed in one summer. Recruitment is primarily targeted at students outside the local area, but within the Southeast region. The students will have many opportunities to interact with scientists and facilities both in local industry and at the nearby NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.
