Joint U.S.-Polish-Czech Workshop on Modeling Molecular Materials

这次分子建模研讨会将汇集来自美国、捷克共和国和波兰的学生和研究人员。会议将集中讨论一个快速发展的跨学科领域，该领域汇集了计算化学、材料科学、生物技术、固态物理和分子图形学等重要领域。研讨会的共同组织者是杰克逊州立大学的Jerzy Leszczynski博士、捷克查尔斯大学的Jaroslaw Burda和波兰弗罗茨瓦夫工业大学的Waclaw Sokalski。会议的主要目标是建立一个跨学科论坛，代表最新出现的方法的主要专家将与对其在生物和材料科学中的应用感兴趣的科学家会面。来自传统黑人学院和大学（HBCU）的少数民族学生和博士后将被邀请在本次研讨会上发表演讲。这是一个及时的会议，讨论计算化学快速发展的研究领域，也包括学生培训的一个方面，因为这不是研究生院传统课程中教授的领域。该项目还实现了将美国和中欧/东欧的顶尖专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等、互惠和互利的基础上，在具有强烈共同利益和能力的领域结合互补的努力和能力。

This workshop on molecular modeling will bring together students and researchers from the United States, the Czech Republic and Poland. The proposed meeting will focus on a rapidly developing interdisciplinary field that brings together important areas such as computational chemistry, materials science, biotechnology, solid state physics, and molecular graphics. The co-organizers of the workshop are Dr. Jerzy Leszczynski from Jackson State University, Jaroslaw Burda from Charles University in the Czech Republic and Waclaw Sokalski from Wroclaw University of Technology in Poland.The main objective of the meeting is to establish an interdisciplinary forum where leading experts representing recently emerging methodologies will meet with scientists interested in their applications in biological and material sciences. Minority students and post-docs from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) will be invited to makes presentations at this workshop. This is a timely meeting on a rapidly progressing field of research in computational chemistry that also contains an aspect of student training, as this is not an area traditionally taught in the graduate school curriculum. This project also fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.
