Faculty Awards for Women: Molecule-Surface Interactions

女科学家和工程师学院奖颁发给麻省理工学院化学系的西尔维娅·t·切耶博士。Ceyer将启动一个将激光光谱学与分子束表面技术相结合的新项目。该项目的目标是确定电子效应对分子与表面相互作用的贡献。从激发和未激发硅表面散射的分子振动能的差异可归因于相互作用的电子成分。美国国家科学基金会女教师奖表彰获奖者在教学和学术方面的高质量记录，以及对科学研究、学术职业和未来科学家教育继续做出重大贡献的潜力。尤其值得注意的成就是Ceyer对分子-表面相互作用动力学的研究和出色的本科教学。

This Faculty Award for Women Scientists and Engineers is made to Dr. Sylvia T. Ceyer of the Department of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Ceyer will initiate a new project integrating laser spectroscopy with molecular beam surface techniques. The goal of the project is to determine the contribution of electronic effects to the interaction of molecules with surfaces. The difference in vibrational energy of molecules scattered from excited and unexcited silicon surfaces is attributable to the electronic component of the interaction. %%% The NSF Faculty Award for Women recognizes the high quality of the awardee's record in teaching and scholarship as well as potential for continued significant contributions to scientific research, the academic profession, and the education of future scientists. Particularly noteworthy achievements are Ceyer's research on the dynamics of molecule-surface interaction and outstanding undergraduate teaching.
