SURFing the Physics Lab: A NIST/NSF Partnership for AMO Physics

这项活动将部分支持NIST/Gaithersburg的一个夏季本科生研究小组。为了加强本科生的AMO物理课程，项目主任将与系主任和卓越中心主任合作，从每个机构中确定两名准备参加AMO物理校外暑期研究并从中受益的本科生。被选中的20名学生将花12周的时间，与NIST的物理学家们一对一地积极参与项目，将对基础知识的探索与对国家重要问题的直接应用结合起来。看到他们如何发挥作用，了解研究事业的非学术选择是附带的好处。学生和导师将根据背景和兴趣进行配对，以促进学生，学生的物理教授和NIST顾问之间关于预期项目的对话-确保学生到达NIST准备贡献，并为学生的教授在秋季的后续工作做好准备。学生们将集体住在附近有家具的公寓大楼，并参加许多NIST研讨会和每周冲浪物理实验室夏季研讨会系列。这些学生将在NIST的一个研讨会上展示他们的研究成果，并鼓励他们在接下来的一年中参加一个科学会议。该项目的费用将由NIST、NSF和参与学校共同承担。考虑到目前物理工作人员的多样性严重缺乏，这一伙伴关系将积极从代表性不足的群体和残疾学生中寻找有竞争力的学生。* * *​​!!B 3 Times New Roman Symbol & Arial 1 Courier r r 0 0 r " G ' C r:\WW20USER\ABSTRACT。DOT丹尼斯·亨利丹尼斯·亨利

9322801 King This activity will partially support a summer undergraduate research group at NIST/Gaithersburg. To strengthen undergraduate AMO physics curricula, the program director will work with department chairs and directors of centers of excellence to identify two undergraduates from each institution who are prepared for, and would benefit from off-campus summer research in AMO physics. The selected 20 students will spend 12 weeks actively engaged, one-on-one with NIST staff physicists in projects combining quests for fundamental knowledge with direct applications to problems of national importance. Seeing how they can make a difference and learning about non-academic alternatives for research careers are side benefits. Student and advisor will be paired based on background and interests, to facilitate dialogue between the student, the student's physics professors and NIST advisor about the intended project - ensuring the student arrives at NIST ready to contribute, and preparing the student's professors for follow-up in the fall. The students will collectively live in a nearby furnished apartment complex and participate in the many NIST seminars and in a weekly SURFing the Physics Lab Summer Seminar Series. The students will all present their research in a seminar at NIST and be encouraged to participate in a scientific conference during the following year. Costs for this program will be shared by NIST, NSF and the participating schools. Given the significant lack of diversity in the present physics work force, this partnership will aggressively seek out competitive students from underrepresented group s and with disabilities. *** ! !
