计划：使能技术的物理基础职业竞赛提案编号：ECS-9734438主要调查者：安·梅舍尔标题：职业：使聚合物材料具有特殊光学特性的知识的发现和转移摘要拟议的研究与聚合物光纤的数值建模和实验表征有关。通过与工业赞助商的大力合作，PI将获得特定的工艺条件，以模拟制造过程，并通过实验验证关于聚合物纤维折射率分布和带宽的数值预测。该教育计划包括开发一门跨学科研究生课程，并与欧洲教育、科学及文化研究中心联盟建立合作关系，并向工程学领域的妇女和少数群体开展外联活动。对于为期48个月的20万美元的职业奖励，建议使用这一提议。李太平1998年2月13日

Program: Physical Foundations of Enabling Technologies CAREER Competition Proposal Number: ECS-9734438 Principle Investigator: Ann Mescher Title: CAREER: Discovery and transfer of knowledge enabling manufacture of polymer materials with specialized optical characteristics Abstract The proposed research is related to numerical modeling and experimental characterization of polymer optical fibers. Through strong collaboration with industrial sponsors, the PI will receive specific processing conditions to simulate the manufacturing process and to verify experimentally numerical predictions regarding to the refractive index profile and bandwidth of the polymer fiber. The educational plan includes the development of an interdisciplinary graduate course, and to establish collaboration with the ECSEL coalition and an outreach effort to women and minorities in engineering. This proposal is recommended for a CAREER award at $200,000 for 48 months. T. P. Lee February 13, 1998
