REU Site: Summer Research Projects in Contemporary Physics

该奖项为芝加哥大学物理学本科生研究经验（REU）网站提供资金。该网站每年将支持12名学生在芝加哥大学进行为期10周的暑期研究。该计划的核心是每个学生在芝加哥大学教师的指导下进行一个明确的为期10周的暑期研究项目。该课程为学生提供了接触物理学的广度和统一性的机会，学生将通过提交书面报告和口头介绍他们的工作来学习科学交流。本课程向本科生介绍了许多前沿研究的思想，学生项目包括：高能物理学、宇宙射线物理学、天体物理学、广义相对论、凝聚态物理学、非线性动力学、生物物理学和拓扑物理学。一系列的讲座提供了一些最重要的研究课题的概述，目前在这些物理领域所追求的教师。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award funds the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in Physics at the University of Chicago. The site will support twelve students for ten weeks of summer research at the University of Chicago each year. The core of the program for each student is a well-defined 10- week summer research project under supervision of a University of Chicago faculty member. The program provides students with exposure to the breadth and unity of physics, and the students will learn to communicate science by submitting a written report and making an oral presentation on their work.The undergraduate students are introduced to many of the ideas of leading-edge research, and student projects are among: high-energy physics, cosmic-ray physics, astrophysics, general relativity, condensed-matter physics, non-linear dynamics, biophysics, and topological physics. A series of talks presented by faculty provides an overview of some of the most important research topics currently pursued in these areas of physics.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
