This award of the Professional Opportunities for Women in Research and Education (POWRE) program funded by the Division of Chemistry supports the research and educational activities of Dr. Alenka Luzar at the University of California at San Francisco. The research aims to understand hydrophobic phenomena and their relationship with hydrophilicity and with water hydrogen-bond dynamics in confined geometries. The ultimate goal is to elucidate static and dynamic aspects of solvent-induced forces between synthetic and biological solutes in an aqueous environment with special emphasis on the dynamical aspects. These issues will be attacked on several fronts using the methods of statistical mechanics. Molecular dynamics simulations, large-scale Monte Carlo techniques, and field theoretic models will be employed.The opportunity afforded through the POWRE program will enhance Dr. Luzar's research potential as well as her ultimate goal of the educational mentoring of undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral scientists in both classroom and research laboratory. The proposed research program is relevant to many complex and poorly understood everyday phenomena in biochemistry and materials science. Examples include the action of detergents, biological organization and interactions in biological membranes.

由化学系资助的妇女研究和教育专业机会（POWRE）方案的这一奖项支持了加州大学旧金山分校弗朗西斯科的Alenka Luzar博士的研究和教育活动。 该研究旨在了解疏水现象及其与亲水性和水氢键动力学在受限几何形状的关系。 最终的目标是阐明静态和动态方面的溶剂诱导力之间的合成和生物溶质在水环境中，特别强调的动态方面。 这些问题将使用统计力学的方法在几个方面进行攻击。 分子动力学模拟，大规模蒙特卡罗技术，和场论模型将被采用。通过POWRE计划提供的机会将提高博士. Luzar的研究潜力，以及她的教育指导本科生，研究生和博士后科学家在课堂和研究实验室的最终目标。 拟议的研究计划与生物化学和材料科学中许多复杂且知之甚少的日常现象有关。 例子包括清洁剂的作用、生物组织和生物膜中的相互作用。
