U.S.-China Young Investigators Workshop on Emerging Trends in Mechanics and Processing, Beijing, China, August 1996

9513073 QU该奖项支持美国参加美国-中国关于机械和先进材料加工领域的基础研究问题和新兴技术的双边研讨会。美国的参与者将在博士学位十年内从申请者中挑选出来。研讨会的目的是为两国的年轻研究人员提供一个交流思想和发展合作伙伴关系的机会，以便在先进材料研究的重要领域进行合作研究。研讨会的主题是及时的，而且是共同感兴趣的。先进材料领域对中国和美国都至关重要。中国人，北京清华大学的杨薇博士，在布朗大学获得博士学位，是被引用期刊的定期撰稿人。1994年，他被评为中国十大青年科学家之一，并与中国内外保持着密切的研究合作。1995年9月，美国国家科学技术研究院在中国发表的材料研究报告中，提出了加强材料科学合作的若干建议。其中一个呼吁增加科学家与科学家之间的互动，以确定合作的研究机会。这次研讨会应该是重要的第一步，让新的美国调查人员能够看到中国的研究计划，并确定合作将在哪里促进美国在材料科学方面的兴趣。研讨会将于1996年8月在北京清华大学中国举行。***

9513073 Qu This award supports US participation in a bilateral US-China workshop on basic research issues and emerging technologies in the areas of mechanics and processing of advanced materials. US participants will be chosen from applicants within ten years of their Ph.D. The purpose of the workshop is to provide an opportunity for young investigators from the two countries to exchange ideas and develop partnerships for cooperative research in important areas of advanced materials research. The workshop topic is timely and of common interest. The area of advanced materials is critically important to both China and the US. The Chinese PI, Dr. Yang Wei of Tsinghua University, Beijing, earned a Ph.D. at Brown University and is a regular contributor to refereed journals. He was named one of China's top ten young scientists in 1994, and maintains strong research collaborations within and external to China. In a September 1995 report published by NIST on materials research in China, a number of recommendations for improving the cooperation in materials science were made. One calls for increased scientist to scientist interaction to define research opportunities for collaboratimn. This workshop should be an important first step in allowing new US investigators to see the research programs in China and to define where collaboration will advance US interests in materials science. The workshop will be held in August 1996 at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. ***
