REU Site: Physics Undergraduate Research Experience at AAMU

该奖项支持阿拉巴马农工大学(AAMU)物理系本科生研究经验(REU)网站的继续。该网站将为27名有才华的本科生提供研究机会，这些学生来自科学和工程基础研究有限的机构。参与的学生将在精力充沛的教师导师的直接监督下，通过在合作研究环境中完成自给自足的十周项目，积极参与前沿研究。参与者可以参与的项目包括材料科学、光子学、空间科学和纳米技术的前沿研究。接触动态和多样化的物理学研究提高了REU参与者对科学研究的理解，并拓宽了他们对STEM相关专业职业的视角。每个参与者将有一个单独的研究项目，由一名教职员工一对一地指导，以及与研究生进行充分的互动。每个参与者都将在实验设计、仪器、数据采集和分析方面取得独特的进步，并参与最先进设备的实际研究经验。

This award supports the continuation of the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site at the Department of Physics at Alabama A&M University (AAMU). The site will provide research opportunities to 27 talented undergraduate students from institutions with limited access to basic research in science and engineering. Participating students will be actively engaged in cutting edge research under the direct supervision of energetic faculty mentors through the completion of self contained ten week projects in a collaborative research environment. The projects available to participants include forefront research in Materials Science, Photonics, Space Science, and Nanotechnology. Exposure to a dynamic and diverse research in physics enhances the REU participants' understanding of scientific research and broadens their perspective on related professional careers in STEM. Each participant will have an individual research project with one on one mentoring from a faculty member as well as ample interactions with graduate students. Each participant will be making unique advances in experimental design, instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis, as well as engaging in hands on research experience with state of the art equipment.
