REU SITE: Summer Research Program in Physics

9423936坎宁安一个新的REU网站将在物理学在巴克内尔大学启动。 这笔赠款将支持八名本科生，包括设备和用品，每年夏天连续三个夏天十周。 学生将能够从各种项目中进行选择，这些项目反映了我们部门教师的不同研究兴趣。这些项目，无论是在理论和实验工作，涵盖了广泛的领域，包括生物物理学，引力理论和黑洞，彗星天体物理学，正电子物理学，非线性光学，激光光谱学和非线性动力学。 一个负责任的招聘活动计划在该国的东海岸和阿巴拉契亚地区寻找学生，并特别努力针对那些历史上吸引物理科学代表性不足的学生的机构。 ***

9423936 Cunningham A new REU Site will be initiated in Physics at Bucknell University. This grant will support eight undergraduate students, including equipment and supplies, for ten weeks each summer for three consecutive summers. Students will be able to select from a variety of projects which reflect the varied research interests of the faculty in our department. These projects, both in theory and experimental work, encompass a broad range of fields including biophysics, gravitational theory and black holes, cometary astrophysics, positron physics, non-linear optics, laser spectroscopy, and nonlinear dynamics. A responsible recruiting campaign is planned to seek students in the Eastern seaboard and Appalachian regions of the country and with specific effort at targeting institutions which historically draw students who are underrepresented in the physical sciences. ***
