0243726 AmiridisThis award supports the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of South Carolina (USC) for the establishment of a three-year Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Japan. Students will be assigned an individual research project to work in the Fall Semester with faculty research mentors at Osaka University, Sophia University (Tokyo), and Kyoto University in collaboration with USC faculty. In addition, two USC U.S. graduate (Ph.D.) students will also travel to Japan together with the REU group and serve as mentors to the students while also doing research in Japan. Research projects will be on topics such as the catalytic role of supercritical water in organic reactions; molecular simulations of gas permeation through organic membranes; shock tube studies of the thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons; the synthesis of molecular composites; emission control during the pyrolosis of coal; and synthesis of nanoporous materials using copolymer gel templates. In addition to the individual research projects, the REU program will include group activities to enrich the participants' education and research experience and facilitate collaboration and long-term relationships with Japanese collaborators. Group activities will involve technical, social, and cultural events such as tours of industrial research facilities and participation in local community festivals. Students will be recruited from chemical engineering programs throughout the United States. USC will also focus on recruiting students from underrepresented groups at institutions such as North Carolina A&T State University; Florida A&M University-Florida State University College of Engineering; and the University of Puerto Rico. This REU Site is co-funded by the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering and the NSF Directorate for Engineering.

0243726 Amiridis 该奖项支持南卡罗来纳大学 (USC) 化学工程系在日本建立为期三年的本科生研究体验 (REU) 站点。秋季学期，学生将被分配一个单独的研究项目，与大阪大学、上智大学（东京）和京都大学的教师研究导师与南加州大学教师合作进行工作。此外，两名南加州大学美国研究生（博士）也将随REU小组前往日本，在日本进行研究的同时担任学生的导师。研究项目将涉及超临界水在有机反应中的催化作用等主题；有机膜气体渗透的分子模拟；碳氢化合物热分解的激波管研究；分子复合材料的合成；煤炭热解过程中的排放控制；以及使用共聚物凝胶模板合成纳米多孔材料。除了个人研究项目外，REU 项目还将包括小组活动，以丰富参与者的教育和研究经验，并促进与日本合作者的合作和长期关系。团体活动将涉及技术、社会和文化活动，例如参观工业研究设施和参加当地社区节日。学生将从美国各地的化学工程项目中招募。南加州大学还将重点从北卡罗来纳州 A&T 州立大学等机构中招收代表性不足的群体的学生；佛罗里达农工大学-佛罗里达州立大学工程学院；和波多黎各大学。该 REU 站点由 NSF 国际科学与工程办公室和 NSF 工程理事会共同资助。
