"REU Site: Rice Quantum Institute"

该奖项支持威廉·马什·赖斯大学赖斯量子研究所的本科生研究经验（REU）网站的一年更新。 该奖项将支持学生进行为期十周的夏季研究，主题可能包括化学，物理，电气工程，化学工程，材料科学和生物工程。 每个学生通过加入一个单独的研究小组，并与研究生，博士后和教师主管一起工作，参与前沿研究。 学生将通过联合住房，每周跨学科的科学研讨会和每周的社会活动形成一个有凝聚力的群体。这些活动还包括实验室安全培训和参加关于道德和负责任的科学行为的在线课程。在会议中期，学生将提出简短的计算机演示他们的工作，以对方和PI。在第七周，学生将为他们的项目构建摘要。在最后一周，学生们将提交书面报告，设计和组装他们的研究海报演示文稿，然后在年度RQI座谈会的一个非常踊跃参加的会议上与其他本科生参与者一起展示他们的海报。 还将与来自不同学科的教师举行午餐会，讨论研究生院的策略，招生过程和其他专业/技术职业选择。 该奖项由数学和物理科学理事会的物理部和化学部共同资助。

This award supports a one year renewal of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Rice Quantum Institute at William Marsh Rice University. The award will support students for ten weeks of summer research in topics potentially including chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and bioengineering. Each student becomes involved in cutting-edge research by joining an individual research group and working with graduate students, postdocs and faculty supervisors. The students will form a cohesive group through joint housing, weekly interdisciplinary scientific seminars, and weekly social activities. These activities also include laboratory safety training and participation in an online course in ethical and responsible scientific conduct. In mid-session, the students will present brief computer presentations of their work to each other and the PI. In the seventh week, students will construct abstracts for their projects. During the last week students will turn in written reports, design and assemble poster presentations on their research, then present their posters alongside the other undergraduate participants in an extremely well-attended session of the Annual RQI Colloquium. There will also be a lunch meeting with faculty from various disciplines to discuss strategies for graduate school, the admissions process, and other professional/technical career options. This award is co-funded by the Division of Physics and the Division of Chemistry in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
