REU Site: Opportunities in Chemistry at the University of North Texas

该化学学部奖支持北得克萨斯大学(UNT)2007-2009年夏季的本科生研究经验(REU)网站。安吉拉·威尔逊和托马斯·昆达里担任该项目的导演。八名学生将参加为期十周的暑期计划。学生将在全国范围内招生，重点是阿肯色州、路易斯安那州、德克萨斯州和俄克拉何马州等种族多元化的地区。该项目将为学生提供强大的研究基础知识，否则他们可能在本国机构没有这样的机会。研究项目将涵盖有机化学、无机化学、物理化学、分析化学、材料化学和生物化学，特别强调计算化学以及理论和实验之间的接口。UNT是该国最大和最多样化的计算化学小组之一，为这种强调提供了一个理想的地点。REU的经历将向学生介绍一系列化学领域的职业、研究、社区服务和领导机会，并将包括与主要化学公司和其他组织的化学领导人的互动。外部顾问委员会将协助这一REU计划并为其提供建议。

This Division of Chemistry award supports a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of North Texas (UNT) for the summers of 2007-2009. Angela Wilson and Thomas Cundari serve as directors for the program. Eight students will participate in the ten-week summer program. Students will be recruited nationally with a special focus on the ethnically diverse region of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. The program will provide a strong exposure to research fundamentals to students who may not otherwise have such opportunities at their home institutions. Research projects will span organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, materials, and biological chemistry with special emphasis on computational chemistry and the interface between theory and experiment. UNT is home to one of the largest and most diverse computational chemistry groups in the country and provides an ideal location for such an emphasis. The REU experience will introduce students to a range of career, research, community service, and leadership opportunities in chemistry, and will include interactions with chemical leaders from major chemical companies and other organizations. An external advisory board will assist and advise this REU program.
