Proposal: DMS-0211211PI: Kenneth GoldenInstitution: University of UtahTitle: Sixth International Conference on the Electrical Transport and Optical Properties of Inhomogeneous MediaABSTRACTThe "Sixth International Conference on the Electrical Transport and Optical Properties of Inhomogeneous Media" (ETOPIM 6) will be held in Snowbird, Utah, July 15-19, 2002. The conference will mark the 25th anniversary of the first ETOPIM conference, which was held in Columbus, Ohio, in 1977, and will be the second ETOPIM conference held in the US.The electrical transport and optical properties of composites and inhomogeneous media are of fundamental importance to a broad range of highly interdisciplinary problems throughout science and engineering. Photonic crystals and band-gap structures, semiconductors, porous media and rocks, conducting polymers, electrical activity in the heart and brain, composites with negative index of refraction, electrorheological fluids, optical networking, smart slime molds, optimal design of composite microstructures, imaging in geophysical, medical and industrial applications, transport in nanostructures, and the role of sea ice microstrucural and optical properties in polar biology and climate, are all examples of such problems. ETOPIM 6 will address a broad array of active areas in the physics and engineering of inhomogeneous materials and expand the coverage of previous ETOPIM conferences to include problems of current interest in the biological, geophysical and mathematical sciences.The conference is expected to have over 100 participant, representing 22 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Oceania, as well as North and Latin America. Within the USA, 21 states will be represented. The program will consist of more than 30 invited lectures, about 60 contributed papers, and 20 posters. Most of the talks, invited and contributed, will be in series. Parallel minisymposia have been scheduled to focus on mathematical methods in homogenization, porous media and percolation problems in hydrology, and experimental results on random lasers and conducting polymers. Through planned activities at the conference as well as recruiting, the conference organizers will try to maximize the participation of younger researchers, from postdoctoral associates to graduate and undergraduate students, provide career development opportunities for them, and encourage interactions between junior and senior researchers.

提议：DMS-0211211PI：肯尼斯·戈登研究所：犹他州大学标题：第六届非均匀介质电传输和光学特性国际会议简介“第六届非均匀介质电传输和光学特性国际会议”(ETOPIM 6)将于2002年7月15日至19日在犹他州雪鸟举行。这次会议将纪念1977年在俄亥俄州哥伦布市举行的第一届ETOPIM会议25周年，也将是第二次在美国举行的ETOPIM会议。复合材料和非均匀介质的电传输和光学特性对整个科学和工程中广泛的高度跨学科问题具有根本重要性。光子晶体和带隙结构、半导体、多孔介质和岩石、导电聚合物、心脏和大脑中的电活动、具有负折射率的复合材料、电流变流体、光学网络、智能黏液模具、复合材料微结构的优化设计、地球物理、医疗和工业应用中的成像、纳米结构中的传输以及海冰的微结构和光学特性在极地生物和气候中的作用，都是这些问题的例子。ETOPIM 6将讨论非均匀材料物理和工程中的一系列活跃领域，并扩大以前ETOPIM会议的覆盖范围，以包括当前对生物、地球物理和数学科学感兴趣的问题。会议预计将有100多人参加，代表欧洲、亚洲、非洲、中东、大洋洲以及北美和拉丁美洲的22个国家。在美国国内，将有21个州的代表。该计划将包括30多场特邀讲座，约60篇投稿论文和20张海报。大多数演讲，无论是受邀的还是贡献的，都将是一系列的。并行小交会将集中于均化、多孔介质和水文学渗流问题的数学方法，以及关于随机激光和导电聚合物的实验结果。通过在会议上有计划的活动和招聘，会议组织者将努力最大限度地增加年轻研究人员的参与，从博士后助理到研究生和本科生，为他们提供职业发展机会，并鼓励初级和高级研究人员之间的互动。
