This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award provides funding of $134,446 to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site program at the University of Kentucky. The 3-year award, effective May 1, 2024, will enable 10 undergraduate students per year to participate in a 10-week summer research program in physics and astronomy. Students will work on research projects addressing fundamental questions in areas such as cosmology, particle physics, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics, with a focus on topics related to symmetry. The program will provide students with mentored research experience, professional development training, and opportunities to present their work. This REU site is funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) program, which supports a range of basic research and infrastructure projects across mathematics, physics, chemistry, and astronomy.
