POWRE: Nonlocal Electromagnetic Response: Theory and Applications

研究和教育女性职业机会（POWRE）项目的这个奖项支持密歇根州立大学凯瑟琳·亨特教授的研究和教育活动。本研究追求非局部电磁响应理论的新应用，以便在两个研究领域预测和相互关联的实验测量：推导振动力常数，红外强度和原子核电场梯度之间的相互关系，以实验有用的形式，以及评估非局部，分子内介电函数以表征干扰电位的筛选。POWRE项目提供的机会将增强Hunt教授的研究和领导潜力，以及她对本科生、研究生和博士后女科学家的教育指导。

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.
