REU Site in Physics and Optics at Rochester

罗切斯特大学的本科生研究体验奖(REU)每年将资助12名学生进行为期10周的研究，领域包括粒子、核物理和宇宙射线物理、光学和量子光学、凝聚态物理、生物物理、等离子体物理、天体物理和地球物理。教师研究小组的热情和纪律的结合激励了学生，并对他们的研究质量做出了贡献。个人指导和指导培养了每个学生在科学世界中导航的技能--演讲、撰写文章--以及作为独立研究人员的智力发展。每个学生都在小组整体研究重点的背景下，就特定的项目与教师顾问合作。该计划包括一个关于Linux/Unix的迷你课程。REU的学生每周都会参加大学教职员工的讲座，参加大学研究设施的参观和社交活动，也可能参加系里的暑期外展活动。该计划以学生座谈会结束，每个学生在研讨会上就他/她的研究项目发表演讲；学生提交书面摘要和他们的研究经验报告。强烈鼓励学生继续他们的出版项目，并有资格获得额外的支持，以便在全国学生和专业会议上展示他们的成果。

The Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) award at the University of Rochester will support twelve students per year for ten weeks of research in fields including particle, nuclear, and cosmic ray physics, optics and quantum optics, condensed matter physics, biological physics, plasma physics, astrophysics and geophysics. The faculty research groups' combination of enthusiasm and discipline motivates students and contributes to the quality of their research. Individual guidance and mentoring foster each student's skill at navigating the world of science - giving talks, writing articles - as well as his or her intellectual development as an independent researcher.Each student works with a faculty adviser on a specific project within the context of the overall research focus of the group. The program includes a mini-course in Linux/Unix. REU students attend weekly presentations by University faculty, participate in tours of University research facilities and social outings and may also take part in the department's summer outreach activities. The program concludes with a student symposium, at which each student speaks on his/her research project; students submit written abstracts and reports of their research experiences. Students are strongly encouraged to continue their projects toward publication and are eligible for additional support to present their results at national student and professional conferences.
