Research Experience for Undergraduates-Physics

罗切斯特大学物理学专业的REU项目使全国的二年级和三年级学生能够与物理和天文学系的成员一起进行暑期研究项目，目标是50%的女性和代表性不足的少数民族参与。学生从以下实验和理论研究领域中进行选择：粒子和核物理；量子光学和激光；天体物理和红外天文学；凝聚态物理；生物和医学物理；等离子体物理；以及物理教育。学生的研究工作通过电子和机械加工的迷你课程、每周午餐时间的讨论、罗切斯特地区的短途旅行以及参与系内社区外展活动的机会来加强。学生为他们的研究成果准备摘要和报告，并被鼓励(并提供资金支持)在国家会议上发表他们的工作，如NCUR、美国物理学会会议和罗切斯特物理学生研讨会。

The University of Rochester's REU program in Physics enables sophomores and juniors nationwide to undertake summer research projects with members of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and aims at 50% participation by women and underrepresented minorities. Students choose from the following experimental and theoretical research areas: particle and nuclear physics; quantum optics and lasers; astrophysics and infrared astronomy; condensed matter physics; biological and medical physics; plasma physics; and physics education. Students' research work is augmented by mini-courses in electronics and machining, weekly lunchtime discussions, excursions in the Rochester area, and opportunities to engage in the department's community outreach activities. Students prepare abstracts and presentations of their results, and are encouraged (and provided financial support) to present their work at national conferences, such as NCUR, meetings of the American Physical Society, and the Rochester Symposium for Physics Students.
