CAREER: Driven Interfaces in Random Media

这是一个授予新教员的职业奖，因此涉及研究和教育。研究部分包括理论与实验之间的联系的研究，旨在对决定多孔介质中移动界面形态的基本机制和普遍性类别有一个连贯的理解。无序和波动对表面形貌的影响将被研究。该研究对石油开采和环境研究具有指导意义。该奖项的教育部分涉及利用万维网改进研究生课程。将为网上提供的教学材料建立一个全面的数据库。将这些材料有效地整合到课程中，将产生一个虚拟的元课程。这是一个给新教员的职业奖，因此涉及研究和教育。%%%研究部分包括理论与实验之间的联系的研究，旨在对决定多孔介质中移动界面形态的基本机制和普遍性类别有一个连贯的理解。无序和波动对表面形貌的影响将被研究。该研究对石油开采和环境研究具有指导意义。该奖项的教育部分涉及利用万维网改进研究生课程。将为网上提供的教学材料建立一个全面的数据库。将这些材料有效地整合到课程中，将产生一个虚拟的元课程。＊＊＊

9701998 Barabasi This is a CAREER award to a new faculty member and, as such, involves both research and education. The research component is comprised of a study of the connection between theory and experiment which aims for a coherent understanding of the basic mechanisms and universality classes determining the morphology of interfaces moving in porous media. The influence of disorder and fluctuations on surface morphology will be investigated. The research has implications for oil recovery and environmental research. The educational part of the award involves utilizing the world wide web for improving graduate courses. A comprehensive database will be developed of instructional materials available on the web. Effective incorporation of this material into the curriculum will result in a virtual meta-course. %%% This is a CAREER award to a new faculty member and, as such, involves both research and education.
