San Jose State/IBM Almaden Research Center-Analytical and Surface Chemistry of Materials

9300131 Pesek这项由分析和表面化学计划资助的本科院校研究(RUI)项目专注于材料和表面的分析化学。在这项为期36个月的标准拨款期间，圣何塞州立大学(SJSU)的Pesek教授和他的同事将与IBM Almaden研究中心(IBM/ARC)的同行科学家一起开发一个独特的学术/工业研究和培训计划。这项活动将汇集研究生、本科生、小型大学教员和高中教师参与由上海州立大学和IBM/ARC科学家共同指导的合作研究项目。每个项目的重点都是表面和材料的化学和表征。每个参与者都将在上海联合大学和IBM/ARC的实验室工作，从而使他们能够对学术和工业研究以及合作如何使这两个组织受益的问题有一个看法。这项合作研究活动的参与者将获得对基础研究和应用研究的更多欣赏，这将鼓励学生继续攻读高级学位，小型大学教职员工将开始或更积极地在本国机构开展项目，从而与他们的学生分享研究和发现的兴奋，以及高中教师激励更多的他们自己的学生将科学作为职业。***

9300131 Pesek This Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) project which is supported in the Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program focuses on the analytical chemistry of materials and surfaces. During the tenure of this thirty-six month standard grant, Professor Pesek and his colleagues at San Jose State University (SJSU) will join with their counterpart staff scientists at the IBM Almaden Research Center (IBM/ARC) to develop a unique academic/industrial research and training program. This activity will bring together graduate students, undergraduate students, small college faculty, and high school teachers to participate in cooperative research projects which are co-directed by SJSU and IBM/ARC scientists. The focus of each of the projects is the chemistry and characterization of surfaces and materials. Each of the participants will spend time working in laboratories both at SJSU and IBM/ARC, thereby enabling them to gain a perspective on academic as well as industrial research and how cooperation can work to the benefit of the two organizations. %%% Participants in this cooperative research activity are expected to gain an enhanced appreciation of basic and applied research which should encourage the students to continue on for advanced degrees, the small college faculty to begin or more actively pursue projects at their home institutions thereby sharing the excitement of research and discovery with their students, and the high school teachers to motivate more of their own students to consider science as a career. ***
