THE GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON PLASMA PROCESSING SCIENCE (GRC-PPS-2006):

提案编号：CTS-0613727 首席研究员：Alexander Fridman 机构：德雷克塞尔大学 提案标题：戈登等离子体处理科学研究会议 (GRC-PPS-2006) 下一届 2006 年戈登等离子体处理科学研究会议 (GRC-PPS) 将于 2006 年 7 月 16-21 日在马萨诸塞州南哈德利的曼荷莲学院举行。 GRC-PPS 将汇集等离子体处理科学领域的权威机构以及新晋研究人员、工程师和科学家，交流有关该领域最新进展和未来方向的信息和想法。戈登等离子体加工科学研究会议 (GRCPPS) 是一年两次的会议，其学术价值重点关注等离子体的基础科学和高级应用，特别是在材料改性或制造的工业过程中。 GRC-PPS 及其前身 GRC 等离子体化学的一个持续特征是学生和博士后研究员的积极参与。 GRC-PPS 不仅将其视为交流等离子体处理科学最先进技术的论坛，而且还为该领域的新手提供了一个教程环境。这种教程经验是通过正式讲座和海报会议上的热烈讨论以及学生在非正式讨论时间与该领域的领导者互动的机会获得的。目前的 NSF 奖项延续了学生积极参与的传统，为研究生和博士后学生提供部分支持，用于支付参加 GRC-PPS 的旅费和注册费。部分资金将用于扩大行业专家的参与，以加强等离子体处理科学领域的大学与行业合作。按照戈登研究会议的惯常风格，会议将进行相对较少的演讲（约 30 场），选择处于该领域的前沿，并促进正式会议内外所有参与者的积极讨论。出席总人数将限制在 140 人左右。我们过去和预计 2006 年的会议上都有来自学术界、工业界和国家实验室的与会者。鉴于主题的应用性质，GRC-PPS 特别努力邀请工业研究人员作为与会者、后演示者、特邀演讲者和讨论主持人。这次我们将特别刺激工业存在，甚至使用国家科学基金会的一部分支持来做到这一点。 2006 年 GRC-PPS 计划的主题和邀请的演讲者反映了该学科的跨学科性、应用性，以及该领域科学技术的地理和种族多样性以及少数族裔代表性。受邀演讲者来自美国、西欧和东南亚的工业界和大学。 专家的云集和讨论构成了会议更广泛的影响。

Proposal Number: CTS-0613727Principal Investigator: Alexander FridmanInstitution: Drexel UniversityProposal Title: The Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS-2006) The next 2006 Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRC-PPS) will be held 16-21 July 2006 at the Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, MA. The GRC-PPS will bring together leading authorities, as well as beginning researchers, engineers and scientists, in the area of plasma processing science to exchange information and ideas concerning the most recent advances and future directions in this field. The Gordon Research Conference on Plasma Processing Science (GRCPPS) is a bi-annual meeting with intellectual merit focusing on both the fundamental science and advanced applications of plasmas, particularly in the context of industrial processes where materials are modified or fabricated. A continuing feature of the GRC-PPS, and its predecessor the GRC on Plasma Chemistry, is the active involvement of students and post-doctoral fellows. The GRC-PPS sees as its charter not only to be a forum for exchange of the state of the art in plasma processing science, but also to be a tutorial environment for those new to the field. This tutorial experience is obtained through the formal lectures and lively discussions at the poster sessions, and by the opportunities the students have to interact with the leaders in the field during the informal discussion times. The present NSF award continues this tradition of active student participation by providing partial support for graduate and postdoctoral students for travel expenses and registration fees to attend the GRC-PPS. Some portion of the funding will be used to extend participation of specialists from industry to intensify university-industry collaboration in the plasma processing science. In the usual style of Gordon Research Conferences, the meeting will have a relatively small number of talks (approximately 30), chosen to be at the leading edge of the field and to promote active discussion among all participants both inside and outside the formal sessions. Total attendance will be limited to approximately 140. We have had in the past, and anticipate having at the 2006 meeting, a mix of participants from academia, industry and national labs. Given the applied nature of the subject matter, GRC-PPS has made a special effort to invite industrial researchers as attendees, post-presenters, invited speakers and discussion leaders. This time we are going to stimulate especially the industrial presence, even using some portion of the NSF support to do so. The planned topics and invited speakers for the 2006 GRC-PPS reflect the interdisciplinary, applied nature of the subject, and geographic and ethnic diversity and minority representation of the science and technology of the field. Invited speakers come from industry and universities in the US, Western Europe, and South East Asia. The gathering of the experts and their discourse make up the broader impacts of the conference.
