iREU in Organic Chemistry in Bangkok, Thailand

这个为期十周的国际ThaiREU暑期课程旨在让八名来自美国各地的学生在泰国曼谷的有机化学中获得密集的实践研究经验：在丘拉霍恩研究所，朱拉隆功大学和玛希隆大学的实验室。每个美国本科生将与一名泰国研究生配对。美国ThaiREU学生将被安置在一起在丘拉霍恩研究所，并将获得初步的泰国文化，历史和语言课程，这将是整个夏天的文化丰富郊游重要的宗教和历史地点的补充。 每周的研究会议之后，将为美国和泰国的学生参与者举行最后的研究座谈会。此外，ThaiREU学生将提交书面研究报告，以完成他们的正式研究经验。这10周的有机化学研究经验将提供一个密集的，动手的研究经验，在一个复杂的，现代化的泰国实验室下，泰国教师的个性化指导和合作伙伴关系与泰国研究生。从科学的角度来看，该计划的长期影响将使本科生对研究奋进有一个现实的理解，并鼓励学生继续攻读研究生课程。在文化方面，这一经验将促进跨文化交流和理解，并建立美国和泰国年轻科学家之间的长期联系。这一经验将促进全球参与科学劳动力的增长。

This international ten-week ThaiREU summer program is designed to give eight students recruited from across the United States an intensive, hands-on research experience in organic chemistry in Bangkok, Thailand: in laboratories at the Chulabhorn Research Institute, Chulalongkorn University and at Mahidol University. Each American undergraduate will be paired with a Thai graduate student. The American ThaiREU students will be housed together at the Chulabhorn Research Institute, and will receive an initial Thai culture, history and language course, which will be supplemented throughout the summer by cultural enrichment outings to important religious and historical locations. Weekly research meetings will be followed by a final Research Colloquium for both American and Thai student participants. In addition, the ThaiREU students will submit written research reports to complete their formal research experience. This 10-week research experience in organic chemistry will provide an intensive, hands-on research experience in a sophisticated, modern Thai laboratory under the personalized mentorship of a Thai faculty member and partnership with a Thai graduate student. Scientifically, the long-range impact of this program will give undergraduates a realistic understanding of the research endeavor, and encourage students to pursue graduate studies. Culturally, this experience will foster cross-cultural communication and understanding, and establish long-term bonds between young American and Thai scientists. This experience will promote the growth of a globally engaged scientific workforce.
