CAREER: Driven Interfaces in Random Media

9701998巴拉巴西这是对一名新教员的职业奖励，因此涉及研究和教育。研究部分包括理论和实验之间的联系的研究，其目的是一致地理解决定界面在多孔介质中运动的形态的基本机制和普适性类别。无序和涨落对表面形态的影响将被研究。这项研究对石油开采和环境研究具有重要意义。该奖项的教育部分涉及利用万维网改进研究生课程。将开发一个综合数据库，其中包括网上提供的教学材料。有效地将这些材料纳入课程将产生一个虚拟的元课程。%这是对新入职教员的职业奖励，因此涉及研究和教育。研究部分包括理论和实验之间的联系的研究，其目的是一致地理解决定界面在多孔介质中运动的形态的基本机制和普适性类别。无序和涨落对表面形态的影响将被研究。这项研究对石油开采和环境研究具有重要意义。该奖项的教育部分涉及利用万维网改进研究生课程。将开发一个综合数据库，其中包括网上提供的教学材料。有效地将这些材料纳入课程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.
