Errington, Jeffrey R., et alSUNY BuffaloThis is a proposal for travel support for approximately fifty graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to attend the "2004 Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Meeting" in Buffalo, NY on June 3 - 4, 2004.This meeting emphasizes presentations and participation by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars working in all areas of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. NSF-CTS has provided student travel funds for this meeting several times in the past, and this action has been important in making attendance at this meeting widely accessible to graduate students.Broader Societal Impacts:The Midwest Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics Meeting is an annual forum for engineers and scientists in the Midwestern U.S. to present and discuss their work. All aspects of theoretical, computational, and experimental thermodynamics research are included in this meeting. This meeting has a strong tradition of emphasizing presentations from younger researchers, including undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and young faculty, in a collegial atmosphere. This grant will benefit young researchers who traditionally have a harder time obtaining the finances needed to attend major conferences.The meeting will feature 30 to 35 contributed talks (20 minutes in length) and 4 invited speakers (each given 40 minutes). The invited speakers will be:o Fernando Escobedo, Assistant Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Cornell Universityo Christopher Roberts, Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of Delawareo Daniel Lacks, Professor of Chemical Engineering, Case Western Universityo Sharon Glotzer, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of MichiganThe invited speakers have been chosen in part to continue the traditional aim of this meeting to recognize researchers at early points in their careers. As in previous years, the meeting will not include any parallel sessions, so all participants are expected to attend all presentations. This creates a collegial atmosphere and encourages student participants to listen to presentations on a broad range of topics.

这是一份为参加2004年6月3日至4日在纽约州布法罗举行的“2004中西部热力学和统计力学会议”的大约50名研究生和博士后研究人员提供旅费支持的提案。这次会议强调在热力学和统计力学各个领域工作的研究生和博士后学者的演讲和参与。NSF-CTS过去曾多次为这次会议提供学生旅费，这一行动对于研究生广泛参加这次会议非常重要。更广泛的社会影响：中西部热力学和统计力学会议是美国中西部工程师和科学家展示和讨论他们工作的年度论坛。理论、计算和实验热力学研究的所有方面都包括在这次会议中。这个会议有很强的传统，强调年轻研究人员的演讲，包括本科生、研究生、博士后研究人员和年轻教师，在学院的氛围中。这项资助将使年轻的研究人员受益，他们传统上很难获得参加大型会议所需的资金。会议将包括30至35个专题演讲（长度为20分钟）和4名受邀演讲者（每人40分钟）。受邀演讲嘉宾包括：康奈尔大学化学与生物分子工程助理教授Fernando Escobedo特拉华大学化学工程助理教授Christopher Roberts凯斯西大化学工程教授Daniel Lacks化学工程副教授Sharon Glotzer选择邀请演讲者的部分原因是为了延续本次会议的传统目标，即表彰处于职业生涯早期的研究人员。与往年一样，本次会议将不包括任何平行会议，因此所有与会者都应出席所有的发言。这创造了一种学院氛围，并鼓励学生参与者听取广泛主题的演讲。
