REU Site: Physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates

威廉玛丽学院的本科生物理研究体验项目直接支持10名初级水平的本科生参与为期10周的物理项目。此外，这个项目的存在还带来了一笔私人捐赠，德王尔德奖学金（DeWilde Fellowships），用于支持另外5名本科生，其他基金通常会支持另外5名本科生，使整个项目的规模达到20人。威廉和玛丽物理系是一个大型的，全国排名第一的博士学位授予项目，与应用科学系一起，与美国宇航局兰利研究中心和杰斐逊实验室合作，在原子-原子，原子-离子，原子-表面散射，表面物理，超声波，激光物理和激光-原子相互作用，凝聚态物理与各种技术，核和粒子物理，聚合物物理，无损评价，等离子体物理，非线性动力学，量子计算和量子信息，天体物理学/宇宙学。教师和学生的研讨会辅以一个关于研究生学习性质的讲习班。学习如何使用机械车间的机会非常受欢迎。一些共同的活动是与汉普顿大学物理系的REU项目一起计划的，包括由两个机构的参与者进行的10分钟的美国物理学会风格的演讲。过去，学院在吸引女学生参加该项目方面尤其成功，并打算继续朝着这个方向努力。

The physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates program at the College of William and Mary directly supports the participation of 10 junior level undergraduates for projects in physics of 10-week duration. In addition, the existence of this program has led to a private endowment, the DeWilde Fellowships for the support of 5 more, and other funds usually support an additional 5 undergraduates for a total robust program of 20. The William and Mary physics department, a large, nationally ranked Ph.D. granting program, together with the applied science department, and in cooperation with the NASA Langley Research Center and Jefferson Lab provides mentors and projects in atom-atom, atom-ion, and atom-surface scattering, surface physics, ultra-sonics, laser physics and laser-atom interactions, condensed matter physics with a variety of techniques, nuclear and particle physics, polymer physics, non-destructive evaluation, plasma physics, non-linear dynamics, quantum computing and quantum information, and astrophysics/cosmology. Seminars by faculty and students are supplemented by a workshop on the nature of graduate study. An opportunity to learn how to use a machine shop is very popular. Some common activities are planned with the REU program of the Hampton University Physics Department including 10-minute, American Physical Society style talks by the participants from both institutions. The College has been especially successful in attracting women students to the program in the past and intends to continue striving in this direction.
