Environmental Physical and Mathematical Science and Engineering, and Geoscience Graduate Research Traineeships

环境、物理、数学科学和工程以及地球科学方面的科学进步要求在科学和技术前沿开展全面的多学科教育和研究。密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的申请项目通过为自然和工程颗粒物系统多学科调查的五名NSF学员提供博士水平的教育，满足了相关的关键人力资源需求。NSF实习生将在全国范围内通过积极的广告招募。墨尔本大学通过NSF-REU粒子系统工程项目成功地招募和培养了有才华的本科生(约70人，其中大部分来自科学和工程领域代表性较低的群体)。所要求的实习生职位将为这些学生中最聪明的学生以及其他被招募参加奖项的学生提供重要机会。该计划将为学员提供一个具有挑战性和支持性的环境。学生将获得工程和科学相关学科的硕士和博士学位，项目教职员工将仔细规划和监督学生的教学和研究发展。GRA学员的课程将包括热力学、流体动力学、颗粒系统、大气动力学、原子和分子物理和化学、计算化学和气候学等课程。实验研究将侧重于颗粒-蒸汽(气体)和颗粒-颗粒相互作用的表征和测量，颗粒和气体的干湿处置，痕量气体的排放和转化，以及颗粒的辐射性质。理论和计算密集的项目将集中在硫磺化学、粒子动力学和大气环流模型上。对学生的教育和培训强调综合方法来解决复杂的环境问题。学员的职业发展机会将包括在美国的国家实验室和工业研究中心实习，可能还会在美国、德国、日本和俄罗斯的著名大学/机构实习，这些大学/机构进行相关的颗粒物系统调查。密苏里大学系统的教育使命要求密歇根州立大学承担研究生教育的特殊责任。工程学院特别在基础设施(新建筑、翻新、设备、计算)方面进行了重大投资。项目教师致力于该项目的成功，资金将为学员带来真正独特的跨学科机会。

Scientific advancement in Environmental Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering, and Geosciences require comprehensive multidisciplinary education and research at the cutting edge of science and technology. The requested program at the University of Missouri-Columbia addresses the related critical need for human resources by providing PhD level education to five NSF Trainees in the multidisciplinary investigation of Particulate Systems, both natural and engineered. NSF Trainees will be recruited through vigorous advertising throughout the nation. MU has a history of successful recruiting and nurturing of talented undergraduate students (~70; a major portion of whom are from groups underrepresented in science and engineering) through the NSF-REU in Particulate Systems Engineering program. The requested Traineeships will allow significant opportunities to the brightest of these students, as well as others to be recruited for the awards. The program will provide Trainees with a challenging yet supportive environment. Students will receive both the MS and PhD degrees from the participating academic disciplines in engineering and the sciences, and the program faculty will carefully plan and monitor the students' teaching and research development. Curricula for the GRA Trainees will include classes in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, particulate systems, atmospheric dynamics, atomic and molecular physics and chemistry, computational chemistry and climatology. Experimental research will focus on characterizations and measurements of particle-vapor (gas) and particle-particle interactions, dry and wet disposition of particles and gases, trace gas emissions and transformations, and radiative properties of particles. Theoretical and computationally intensive projects will focus on sulfur chemistry, particle dynamics and general circulation models. The education and training of students emphasize integrated approaches to complex environmental problems. Professional development opportunities for the Trainees will include internships at the national laboratories and industrial research centers in the U.S., and possibly at prestigious universities/institutions in the U.S., Germany, Japan, and Russia that conducts relevant particulate systems investigations. The University of Missouri system educational mission charges MU with special responsibilities for graduate education. The College of Engineering specifically has made major investments in infrastructure (new building, renovations, equipment, computing). The project faculty are dedicated to the success of the program, and funding will lead to truly unique, interdisciplinary opportunities for the Trainees.
