opportunity to study "big science" at one of the world's
pre-eminent
applied research centers.

During their two week stay, students attend lectures by LLNL
scientists and
DAS professors. Topics include:  magnetic fusion, laser fusion,
free
electron lasers, laboratory x-ray lasers, computational
modeling, surface
and interface science, solid state chemistry and physics,
metallurgy,
energetic materials, precision engineering, and national
security.

Students will gain hands-on experimental, theoretical or
computational
experience by completing a small research project.  The lectures
are
supplemented by informal discussions and tours of LLNL, as well
as
extracurricular and social activities.

Appointments include travel and living expenses and a $1000
award.
