项目摘要

Technical SummaryEach year, nine undergraduates from diverse backgrounds and a broad spectrum of institutions are recruited for a 10-week summer research experience in materials physics at Georgetown University. Students engage in experimental, computational, and theoretical research projects in nanoscale physics, soft matter, device physics, active matter, biophysics, and cold-atom systems. Taking advantage of Georgetown's location in the nation's capital, students are exposed to the role of science, particularly materials research, in public policy. These activities build on Georgetown's existing programs designed to engage undergraduate science majors directly with the government on issues of national importance, and help build an understanding of the connection between scientific research and the world outside of the laboratory. Students also participate in a variety of professional development activities, many of which are held jointly with the REU in the Georgetown Biology Department.Non-Technical SummaryThe National Science Foundation supported Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Materials Physics at Georgetown University provides undergraduates from diverse backgrounds and a broad spectrum of institutions an opportunity to engage in important and challenging research in the fundamental science of materials, while developing technical and professional skills necessary for a successful career in science. In addition, students are exposed to the role of science, particularly materials research, in public policy, and meet with science policy practitioners in the Nation's Capital. Recruitment efforts focus on students from schools with limited research programs, as well as members of underrepresented groups. The engagement in focused research projects, exploration of the broader role of science and scientists in society, and development of lasting relationships with faculty mentors positively influences student perceptions of careers in science and helps increase the pool of future materials researchers. In addition, students who complete this REU are uniquely qualified to understand and communicate the importance of materials science in technological progress and in addressing societal challenges

技术摘要每年，来自不同背景和广泛机构的 9 名本科生都会被招募到乔治城大学进行为期 10 周的材料物理暑期研究。学生从事纳米物理、软物质、器件物理、活性物质、生物物理学和冷原子系统的实验、计算和理论研究项目。利用乔治城大学位于美国首都的地理位置，学生可以接触到科学，特别是材料研究在公共政策中的作用。这些活动建立在乔治城大学现有项目的基础上，旨在让科学专业的本科生直接与政府就国家重要问题进行接触，并帮助建立对科学研究与实验室之外的世界之间联系的理解。学生还参加各种专业发展活动，其中许多活动是与乔治城大学生物学系与 REU 联合举办的。非技术摘要美国国家科学基金会支持乔治城大学材料物理本科生研究体验，为来自不同背景和广泛的机构提供了参与材料基础科学领域重要且具有挑战性的研究的机会，同时培养科学事业成功所需的技术和专业技能。此外，学生还可以了解科学（特别是材料研究）在公共政策中的作用，并在国家首都与科学政策从业者会面。招募工作主要针对研究项目有限的学校的学生以及代表性不足的群体的成员。参与重点研究项目、探索科学和科学家在社会中更广泛的作用以及与教师导师发展持久的关系，都会积极影响学生对科学职业的看法，并有助于增加未来材料研究人员的数量。此外，完成此 REU 的学生具有独特的资格来理解和传达材料科学在技术进步和应对社会挑战中的重要性
