***9733554ThomasThis award is made as a part of the FY98 CAREER competition. The scientific component of the research focuses on the study of dust-particle transport in plasmas. The techniques of particle image velocimetry will be used to follow the motion of the particles. This marks the first time that this technique, which to date has been used on fluid systems, will be used to study dusty plasmas. The final years of the work will concentrate on the analysis of "crystals" in the plasma. The educational component of the activity involves the development of a competitive program that brings a high school student/teacher pair to work on a project in the PI's laboratory during each summer. This project would then be taken back to the high school during the subsequent academic year. At the same time the PI will serve as "science mentor" for the teacher's class during the school year.***

* 9733554奖项作为FY 98职业竞赛的一部分颁发。 该研究的科学部分侧重于研究等离子体中的尘埃粒子迁移。 粒子图像测速技术将被用来跟踪粒子的运动。 这标志着这项迄今为止一直用于流体系统的技术首次被用于研究尘埃等离子体。 最后几年的工作将集中在分析等离子体中的“晶体”上。 该活动的教育部分包括制定一个竞争性计划，每年夏天让一对高中学生/教师在PI的实验室里从事一个项目。 这个项目将在下一学年被带回高中。 与此同时，PI将在学年期间担任教师班级的“科学导师”。
