Dissertation Enhancement Award in Korea for David C. Dooling

该奖项支持美国国家科学基金会论文强化奖，授予普罗维登斯布朗大学的Kyungsik Kang博士。Kang博士的学生david C. Dooling先生将进行风味物理研究的博士论文研究。杜林为了在韩国高等研究院（KIAS）进行为期12个月的博士论文研究，向政府申请了前往韩国的旅费和生活费，而他的论文导师康教授则在休假期间访问了KIAS。该研究项目涉及粒子物理学的主要未解之谜之一，即费米子质量和风味混合。在KIAS进行的拟议研究还涉及费米子质量和混合的实验奥秘。杜林先生希望研究对夸克和轻子扇区的同时解释，并考虑到引力在解释这些参数的观测值方面可能起的作用。

0083352KangThis award supports a National Science Foundation Dissertation Enhancement award to Dr. Kyungsik Kang of Brown University, Providence. Dr. Kang's student, Mr.David C. Dooling will conduct his Ph. D. dissertation research on investigations in flavor physics. Mr. Dooling requests fund to travel to South Korea and per diem for carrying out his Ph.D. dissertation work at the Korea Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) for 12 months, while his thesis advisor Prof. Kang visits KIAS on a sabbatical. The research project concerns one of the major unsolved mysteries of particle physics, that of fermion masses and flavor mixing. The proposed research to be conducted at KIAS also concerns the experimental mysteries of the fermion masses and mixings. Mr. Dooling wishes to investigate simultaneous explanations of the quark and lepton sectors, as well as to take into account the possible role of gravity in explaining the observed values of these parameters.
