***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.***

*** 9733554THOMASTHOS奖是在95财年职业比赛中颁发的一部分。 该研究的科学组成部分着重于等离子体中尘埃颗粒运输的研究。 粒子图像的技术将用于遵循颗粒的运动。 这标志着该技术迄今已在流体系统上使用的第一次将用于研究尘土飞扬的等离子体。 工作的最后几年将集中于血浆中“晶体”的分析。 该活动的教育组成部分涉及开发一个竞争计划，该计划在每年夏天将一对高中生/老师对在PI实验室中的项目进行工作。 然后，在随后的学年，该项目将被带回高中。 同时，PI将在学年担任老师课的“科学导师”。***
