0348169 ElShallDescription: This award is to support a "US-Egypt workshop on Laser Chemistry and Applications to Materials and Biomedical Research" scheduled to be held in March 2004 in Cairo, Egypt. The organizers are Dr. Mohamed El-Shall, Department of Chemistry, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Mostafa El-Sayed, Professor of Chemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia and Dr. Hany El-Nazer, President of the National Research Center, Cairo, Egypt. The objectives of the workshop are to: 1) discuss the state of the art of laser technology in research in both countries; 2) address the fundamental science and technology of laser chemistry; the applications in materials including nanostructures, thin films, terahertz spectroscopy, nonlinear optical properties, material shaping, surface modifications and applications in biomedical research, including characterization and imaging of tissues, and 3) stimulate cooperative research in the field of lasers between American and Egyptian scientists. Areas of fundamental science and technology of lasers to be covered will include spectroscopy, photochemistry, materials applications, nonlinear optics, nanostructures, and thin films. Areas of research to be addressed are: 1. lasers and properties, applications in fundamental science. 2. applications to materials and 3. applications in biological and medical sciences. The final session will include a panel discussion of the outstanding problems in the fields of particular interest for development in Egypt, and the plans for joint projects and research collaboration. Scope: This is an interdisciplinary workshop with participants and speakers from chemistry, physics, materials science, engineering, biological and medical fields. It will allow scientists from the U. S. and Egypt to exchange experiences, ideas, and information and to build collaborations to promote laser technology with potential mutual benefits. The synergism produced by bringing together the researchers in these areas is expected to enhance the collaboration between the two countries and to take the field of laser science and technology a step closer towards realizing its enormous potential for novel technologies, and to economic developments involving the private sectors in Egypt and the US. Support is planned for 15 prominent U.S. researchers who will address important issues, and who will help define future joint research. This project is being supported under the US-Egypt Joint Fund Program, which provides grants to scientists and engineers in both countries to carry out these joint scientific activities, with partial support from the Division of Materials Research.

该奖项是为了支持定于2004年3月在埃及开罗举行的“美国-埃及激光化学及其在材料和生物医学研究中的应用研讨会”。组织者是弗吉尼亚州里士满弗吉尼亚联邦大学化学系Mohamed El-Shall博士、佐治亚州亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院化学教授Mostafa El-Sayed博士和埃及开罗国家研究中心主席Hany El-Nazer博士。研讨会的目的是：1)讨论两国激光技术的研究现状；2)激光化学的基础科学与技术；在材料方面的应用，包括纳米结构、薄膜、太赫兹光谱、非线性光学特性、材料成型、表面修饰和生物医学研究中的应用，包括组织的表征和成像，以及3)促进美国和埃及科学家在激光领域的合作研究。涵盖的激光基础科学和技术领域将包括光谱学、光化学、材料应用、非线性光学、纳米结构和薄膜。需要解决的研究领域是：1。激光和特性，在基础科学中的应用。2. 3.材料应用；在生物和医学科学中的应用。最后一次会议将包括一个小组讨论，讨论埃及发展特别感兴趣的领域中的悬而未决的问题，以及联合项目和研究合作的计划。范围：这是一个跨学科的研讨会，参加者和演讲者来自化学、物理、材料科学、工程、生物和医学领域。它将允许来自美国和埃及的科学家交流经验、想法和信息，并建立合作以促进激光技术的潜在互利。将这些领域的研究人员聚集在一起所产生的协同效应有望加强两国之间的合作，并使激光科学技术领域朝着实现其新技术的巨大潜力迈进一步，并促进埃及和美国私营部门的经济发展。计划为15名杰出的美国研究人员提供支持，他们将解决重要问题，并帮助确定未来的联合研究。该项目得到了美国-埃及联合基金计划的支持，该计划向两国的科学家和工程师提供赠款，以开展这些联合科学活动，并得到材料研究部的部分支持。
