Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship: Integrating Materials Chemistry and Art for Metallic Art Conservation

Tami Lasseter Clare，费城艺术博物馆，2006-2007学年和2007-2008学年探索队博士后研究员。克莱尔博士的研究将集中于开发用于艺术保护领域的纳米结构，超疏水，保护涂层，特别是金属艺术涂层，如青铜雕塑。该项目还包括为高中学生设计和实施一个基于化学和艺术的研讨会，特别是费城公立学校中高度多样化的学生群体。这个发现队博士后奖学金由化学部和多学科活动办公室支持。探索队奖学金计划是一个试点项目，旨在寻求新的博士后和专业发展模式，将研究专长与专业服务相结合。探索队成员通过解决国家需要领域的项目利用他们的研究专长。他们的项目提高了研究能力和基础设施，有助于劳动力发展和创造就业机会。探索队项目同时支持博士后和高级研究员。

Tami Lasseter Clare, Philadelphia Museum of Art, is a Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellow for the 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 academic years. Dr. Clare's research will focus on developing nanostructured, super-hydrophobic, protective coatings for use in the field of art conservation, specifically coatings for metallic art, such as bronze sculptures. The project also includes designing and implementing a workshop based on chemistry and art for high school students, particularly the highly diverse student population in the Philadelphia public schools. This Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellowship is supported by the Division of Chemistry and the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is a pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research expertise with professional service. Discovery Corps Fellows leverage their research expertise through projects that address areas of national need. Their projects enhance research capacity and infrastructure and contribute to workforce development and job creation. The Discovery Corps Program supports both Postdoctoral Fellows and Senior Fellows.
