POWRE: Nonlocal Electromagnetic Response: Theory and Applications

该奖项的专业机会，为妇女在研究和 教育（POWRE）计划支持研究和教育 密歇根州立大学的凯瑟琳亨特教授的活动。 的 研究追求非局部电磁响应的新应用 理论，以预测和相关的实验测量 在两个研究领域内： 振动力常数、红外强度和电场 在核梯度，在实验上有用的形式，和评价 一个非局部的，分子内介电函数来表征 扰动电位的筛选。 通过POWRE计划提供的机会将提高教授 亨特的研究和领导潜力，以及她的教育指导， 本科、研究生和博士后女科学家。

This award of the Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) program supports the research and educational activities of Professor Katherine Hunt of Michigan State University. The research pursues new applications of nonlocal electromagnetic response theory, in order to predict and interrelate experimental measurements within two research areas: derivation of interconnections among vibrational force constants, infrared intensities, and electric field gradients at nuclei, in an experimentally useful form, and evaluation of a nonlocal, intramolecular dielectric function to characterize the screening of perturbing potentials. The opportunity afforded through the POWRE program will enhance Professor Hunt's research and leadership potential and her educational mentoring of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral women scientists.
