Frank Vera is awarded an NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences Ascending Postdoctoral Research Fellowship to conduct a program of research and activities related to broadening participation by groups underrepresented in STEM. This fellowship to Dr. Vera supports his research project entitled Postdoctoral Fellowship: MPS-Ascend: "Effective Field Theory Approach to Nuclear Structure for Next Generation of High-Energy Scattering Experiments", under the mentorship of a sponsoring scientist. The host institution for the fellowship is the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator (JLab), and the sponsoring scientist is Dr. Christian Weiss.In this project the PI will pursue a research project to better develop a new theoretical method for the analysis of high-energy scattering experiments on nuclei to unveil the nuclear microscopic substructure and internal interactions. Dr. Vera will employ the developed method to calculate nucleon momentum distributions, the nuclear pion density, nuclear quark/gluon densities, deuteron breakup processes, and other properties of nuclei, and apply the results to analyze experiments at JLab and the anticipated Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). Dr. Vera will participate in outreach activities, such as public presentations and lectures, and will mentor junior students, with a focus on those from underrepresented groups in STEM. Dr. Vera will support the JLab REYES program by providing lectures and research mentoring to local high school students and undergraduates involved in REYES.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.

弗兰克·维拉（Frank Vera）被授予NSF数学和物理科学，上升博士后研究奖学金，以开展与STEM中代表性不足的小组扩大参与有关的研究和活动计划。 在赞助科学家的指导下，这项与维拉博士的奖学金支持他的研究项目：MPS-ASCEND：“有效的核结构理论方法，用于下一代高能散射实验”，在赞助科学家的指导下。奖学金的主持机构是托马斯·杰斐逊国家加速器（JLAB），赞助科学家是克里斯蒂安·韦斯（Christian Weiss）。 Vera博士将采用开发的方法来计算核子动量分布，核锥度密度，核夸克/gluon密度，杜特龙的分解过程和核的其他特性，并将结果应用于JLAB和预期的Electron-ION Collider（EIC）。 Vera博士将参加外展活动，例如公开演讲和讲座，并将指导初中生，重点是STEM中代表性不足的团体。 Vera博士将通过向当地高中生和雷耶斯涉及的本科生提供讲座和研究指导来支持JLAB REYES计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估。
