U.S. Summer School in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

9987640Radzihovsky该奖项在科罗拉多大学博尔德分校设立了凝聚态物质和材料物理暑期学校。该学院面向凝聚态物理、材料科学及相关领域的高级研究生和博士后。目前，美国还没有一所类似的学校。该学院的目标是，在明确界定的学科范围内，让学生接触到一系列的概念、技术和应用，这些概念、技术和应用远远超出任何一个研究生院所能提供的范围。国家研究委员会最近在题为《凝聚态和材料物理学：未来技术的基础研究》的十年研究报告中强调了这一科学分支的活力(国家科学院出版社，1999)。每年，该学院将专注于一个由顶尖科学家组成的顾问委员会根据其科学重要性和跨学科特征选择的当前感兴趣的不同领域。这将帮助学生为在科学前沿独立工作做好准备。特别是，许多最重要和最令人兴奋的科学和技术进步来自于将一个领域的概念和技术应用于另一个领域出现的问题。暑期班将使学生在建立这些联系方面处于更有利的地位。这所学校将运行大约四周，将由大约50名学生，15名讲师和2-3名科学组织者组成。

9987640RadzihovskyThis award establishes a Summer School in Condensed Matter and Materials Physics at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The school is for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral associates in condensed matter physics, materials science and related fields. There is presently no comparable school in the United States. The objective of the school is, within the context of a well defined subject, to expose students to a range of concepts, techniques, and applications which is much broader than any one graduate department can provide. The vitality of this branch of science was recently emphasized in the decadal study by the National Research Council entitled Condensed-Matter and Materials Physics: Basic Research for Tomorrow's Technology (National Academy Press, 1999). Each year the school will focus on a different area of current interest chosen for its scientific importance and interdisciplinary character by an advisory board of leading scientists. This will help prepare the students to work independently at the forefront of science. In particular, many of the most important and exciting scientific and technological advances have come from bringing concepts and techniques from one area to bear on issues arising in another. The summer school will put students in a better position to make these connections. The school will run for approximately four weeks and would be comprised of about fifty students, fifteen lecturers and two-three scientifc organizers.
