REU Site: Materials Physics at the University of Florida

佛罗里达大学继续运营一个本科生研究经验（REU）网站，专注于材料物理学。这个为期10周的暑期项目将在三年内每年为15名本科生提供支持。在全国范围内招收学生，重点是增加妇女、科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）中代表性不足的群体成员、研究机会有限的机构的学生的参与。每个REU参与者都被整合到一个活跃的研究小组中，在教师导师的指导下开展个人研究项目。研究项目涵盖了物理学和相关领域的各种材料研究课题，包括设计、测量和理解新材料和量子现象的实验、理论和计算项目。REU计划还包括当代研究主题研讨会，访问国家高磁场实验室，物理科学职业可能性信息，科学交流研讨会和培训，REU学生向K-12小组进行科学演示，以及促进同龄人之间和教师导师之间非正式互动的社会活动。在项目结束时，学生撰写研究报告并在REU研究研讨会上展示他们的项目成果，并鼓励和支持他们在国家和地区科学会议上展示他们的REU研究。该REU站点由国防部与NSF REU项目和NSF材料研究部在数学和物理科学理事会的合作伙伴关系共同资助。

The University of Florida continues to operate a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site that focused on physics of materials. The ten-week summer program would support 15 undergraduate students each year for three years. Students are recruited nationwide with an emphasis to increase participation by women, members of groups underrepresented in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), students from institutions with limited research opportunities. Each REU participant is integrated into an active research group to carry out individual research project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Research projects cover a wide variety of materials research topics in physics and related fields and include experimental, theoretical and computational projects in the design, measurement and understanding of novel materials and quantum phenomena. The REU program also includes seminars on contemporary research topics, visit to National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, information on career possibilities in physical sciences, workshops and training on scientific communication, science demonstrations by REU students to K-12 groups and social events to facilitate informal interactions among peers and with faculty mentors. At the end of the program, students write research reports and present their project results at a REU research symposium and are encouraged and supported to present their REU research at national and regional scientific meetings.This REU Site is co-funded by the Department of Defense in partnership with the NSF REU program and NSF Division of Materials Research in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Directorate.
