NSF-REU Site for Physics Research at SJSU

位于圣何塞州立大学的NSF-REU物理站点全年运营，少数族裔和女性的参与度很高，并且从大量合格的物理专业本科学生中选拔。大多数正在进行的研究项目都在光学、凝聚态物质和计算物理领域，这些领域代表了我们校园周围高科技硅谷的主要科学焦点。我们的暑期项目服务于本地区高校中代表性不足的学生，我们全年项目的一部分为产学研合作的学生提供支持。该计划的组成部分促进了重要的合作，并促进了技术向商业部门的转移。在某些情况下，研究结果是由学生参与者作为共同作者报告的。此外，学生们还在每周一次的REU学生、教师和工业科学家会议上做了正式的报告。

The NSF-REU Site in Physics at San Jose State University operates on a year-round basis, has a high minority and female participation, and draws from a large pool of well-qualified undergraduate Physics majors. Most of the ongoing research projects are in the areas of optics, condensed matter, and computational physics - areas that represent the major scientific focus in high-tech Silicon Valley surrounding our campus. Our summer program serves under-represented students from colleges in our region, and part of our year-round program provides support for students in industry-university partnerships. This program component fosters important collaborations and facilitates technology transfer to the commercial sector. Research results were reported with, in some cases, student participants as coauthors. In addition, formal presentations by students were made at weekly REU meetings of students, faculty, and industrial scientists.
