<div class="">Dear Colleague:</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">We would like to ask you to encourage undergraduate students at your institution who are completing their degrees in Physics to consider pursuing our NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduate (REU) program here at Kansas State University.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Our department will host our program entitled<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><i class="">Interactions of Matter, Light and Learning</i><span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span>for 10 weeks next summer, pending funding. We invite
your students who have completed a course in modern physics to apply. To this end, we ask that you post the attached poster for display in your department as you see fit.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Student participants will be involved with a variety of research projects at the leading edge of world-class research. For example, students will study the attosecond physics of electrons in matter; nanoparticle formation; biological physics;
quantum and coherent control of laser-cooled atoms; nonlinear fiber optics; neutrino oscillations; atomic and molecular dynamics, using ultrafast lasers; and how students learn physics. They will have access to our state-of-the-art facilities, such as the
Kansas Light Source ultrafast high intensity laser. All students will be full participants in active research groups, and mentored by faculty recognized for their research and teaching abilities. For example, our atomic physics program is highly rated, and
one of our faculty has been recognized by the Carnegie Foundation as National Professor of the Year.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Students selected to participate will receive a $5,450 stipend, partial travel expenses, and room and board, for a value of over $8,500. They will live on campus with students in this and other REU programs and will have access to all the usual
facilities at Kansas State: libraries, recreation centers, and so on.<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Online applications are available at<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span><font color="#7030A0" class=""><b class=""><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.phys.ksu.edu_reu&d=DwMFAg&c=oqyuZuih6ykib6aKiBq22_bich4AVfYGoLertJN0bEc&r=oPHX933s0QxGh0LKaD80CQbTBmY6tYbw-FCePPPwFYM&m=17o41cEWGIGnlBwY0ChXnR_8M8z-71uBdiJsQdhBF-0&s=vJt9hP32qdcJ5cJEBQgUlZ7XXdpsvGpcFCui0ngWCMM&e=" class="">www.phys.ksu.edu/reu</a></b></font>.
An unofficial transcript and letter of reference are also required. We will begin reviewing applications on February 15 and will continue until all places are filled.</div>
