CAREER: Education and Research in Composite Nanotube Systems and Structural Energetics

这是一项CAREER基金，将材料和凝聚态物理的理论研究与各种教育活动结合起来。研究主要集中在两个目标上：(1)材料结构能量学的新算法（遗传算法）和(2)新型复合碳纳米管结构，利用与其他材料的相互作用来创建新的物理系统。教育重点将涉及各级的一些活动。其中包括互联网上活跃的研究页面（整合了公众反馈和讨论），以及对虚拟儿童博物馆的支持。这是一项CAREER资助，将材料和凝聚态物理的理论研究与各种教育活动相结合。该研究主要集中在两个目标上：(1)材料结构能量学的新计算机代码；(2)新型复合碳纳米管结构，利用与其他材料的相互作用来创建新的物理系统。教育重点将涉及各级的一些活动。其中包括互联网上活跃的研究页面（整合了公众反馈和讨论），以及对虚拟儿童博物馆的支持。＊＊＊

9876232CrespiThis is a CAREER grant which integrates theoretical research in materials and condensed matter physics with a variety of education activities. The research focuses on two goals: (1) new algorithms (genetic algorithms) for structural energetics of materials and (2) novel composite carbon nanotube structures which exploit interactions with other materials to create new physical systems. The education thrust will involve a number of activities at various levels. These include active research pages on the internet (with integrated public feedback and discussion) and support of a virtual children's museum.%%% This is a CAREER grant which integrates theoretical research in materials and condensed matter physics with a variety of education activities.
