REU Site: Physics at UC Davis

该奖项支持更新加州大学戴维斯分校的本科生物理研究体验(REU)网站。每年，REU计划将为来自美国各地的8至11名学生提供参加为期10周的暑期研究计划的机会。在凝聚态物理、生物物理学、复杂系统、核物理、高能物理和天体物理领域，REU的学生与一位教师导师在一个为期十周的研究项目中密切合作。除了他们的具体研究项目外，学生们还从他们与教师、研究生和其他REU学生的互动中学习，以及从实地考察中学习，展示在不同环境中与物理相关的工作。在项目结束时，每个参与者都要做一份正式的研究报告，并提交一份书面的项目报告，这份报告可能会导致同行评议的出版。一系列的教育和社会活动加强了研究工作。这些活动让学生将他们的研究经验放在更广阔的视野中，建立起专业人脉网络，并在科学的环境中发展专业技能。

This award supports the renewal of the physics Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site at the University of California - Davis. Each year, the REU program will provide eight to eleven students from around the United States an opportunity to participate in a ten-week summer research program. REU students work closely with a faculty mentor on a ten-week research project in the areas of condensed matter physics, biophysics, complex systems, nuclear physics, high energy physics, and astrophysics. In addition to their specific research project, the students learn from their interactions with faculty, graduate students, and other REU students, and from field trips showing physics-related work in diverse settings. At the end of the program, each participant gives a formal research presentation and presents a written project report that can lead to a peer reviewed publication. Research work is augmented by an array of educational and social activities. These activities allow students to put their research experience in a wider perspective, to build a network of professional contacts, and to develop professional skills in a scientific environment.
